Anyway, start as you mean to precede is what I always say when ever I

Guess which one has legs.

OK, the penny has finally dropped. With this spell, rather than
sloughing off the highs at the US/Atlantic, the air mass finds its way
up eastern Canada and I think (but can't say for sure) enters
Greenland.

From there it moves to Spitzbergen in the Arctic Ocean:

My problem is that I was not watching developments closely enough. I
had assumed that the behaviour was aberrant due to the likelihood of a
serious earthquake of 7M or more taking place after the closure of the
last series of spells.

Thinking about it now, Highs in the NW Atlantic at such latitudes must
be very common. They are after all part of the features of a "col".
