What will drive the chill out of the northeast?

All right… it’s been god-damned cold for plenty long enough up here. I tried sacrificing small animals to Zeus. It just got colder. Prayed to God instead. Now they’re talking snow. So I guess there really is nothing to do but look for signals on weather maps.

But what is necessary to finally knock that cold air out of here? And where would it originate? Really, where should I look for something changing that would result in a much-overdue change in the Northeastern weather?

PS I’m not talking overall climate, I’m just talking about the cold air that has seemed very reluctant to leave for the last few weeks…
