What atmospheric conditions are contributing to this extreme cold outbreak, and how does this event compare to previous occurrences?

This extreme cold event is linked to a high-pressure system over Greenland, pushing the jet stream into a pattern that directs polar air southward. While the exact causes are still under investigation, human-caused climate change is considered a potential contributing factor to the jet stream's increased waviness. This pattern, unusual in its frequency and intensity this winter, has resulted in record snow in some areas and drought and wildfires in others.
