When the AO is in a positive phase--that is, pressure at the core of the region is low--a ring of wind that swirls around the North Pole increases in strength and keeps the frigid Arctic air from escaping southward out of the vortex.

Kim easily dealt with hiking along an open sewage ditch, sprinting with a car tire strapped to her back, floating for half an hour in frigid ocean waters and rolling commando-style in mud. But when coaches blindfolded her in the dead of night, took her to a crematorium and told her to fetch bones from the ovens, she almost lost it.
