Be careful what you ask for.

When a series of similar spells even nondescript ones such as these,
follow consecutively; it means that there will be extremely unpleasant
times for someone somewhere on the planet when they break.

What it means (blocking is almost a serendipitous description) is that
the dispersion of the main cause of weather has been channeled
elsewhere. When that corridor opens up again, the first thing that
happens is the pent up energy blows a fuse through the block.

If you mean that if we are having higher pressure than normal then
someone else is having lower pressure than normal, then yes

(Speaking as a thaumaturge that is of course.)

There's nothing 'magical' about it!

I haven't noticed any occlusions developing in the NW Atlantic yet. Mind
you I have not looked. If it follows through over the weekend with no
sign of breaking then it WILL be a biggie when it comes.


Not so. Often when a block breaks down the initial front that moves in struggles
and is relatively weak. It's only the next front/system that brings the 'real'
change
and it may be a day or two before a mobile set-up is properly established.
