									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Given what we&#8217;ve been talking about in general, I think our classification system should put less emphasis on topography if it&#8217;s harder to find patterns in that. The earthquake map gives some good classifications for general boundaries, and we can certify unique boundaries using the other geologic features.</p>

<p>I think your question is very interesting because I also was wondering the same thing. I remember last year we barely got any snow and I was wondering what changed this year. I never did any research on polar vortexes, however I believe that your conclusion is very valid and is a good explanation for the increase of snow this year.</p>

I also agree, many times during winter in the northern hemisphere, the polar vortex will expand, sending cold air southward with the jet stream .
