I might not be a weather savy person but why are both large storm systems moving in a circular counter clockwise pattern east to west if the jet stream flows west to east?

Great question.

Could the pole being slightly off have a direct correlation?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1323236


Obviously you are not.

Low pressure always rotates in a counter clockwise movement. Low pressure and high pressure , (which rotates clockwise) are just weather systems, the jetstream moves these systems from west to east. Right now the low pressure in the east has been cut off from the the steering influance of the jet stream.
It's called a cut off low, and it is a well documented weather event. When a low gets cut off it just sets in place bringing crappy dreary weather sometimes for days..as we are seeing this week.
