Well, thinking out loud, Buenos Aires is going through an extreme cold period right now! They have snow, something no Buenos Airian (is that right?) has ever seen in his lifetime – in fact the last time they had snow there was 1911 – and 20 degrees C below zero deep freezing weather, paralysing the city of 8 million.
Of course that is a freak winter. But it proves that it
does happen. And it proves that Antarctic winds can have a
very long reach.
Now, if Antarctic winds can reach
that far north, I'm willing to assume arctic winds can do no less in a southern direction.
