Check out this animation: (time sensitive- don't know how long this will last)

Look between 40 and 50 west and south of 10 north. Looks like rotation to me- even looks like a naked hurricane or TS. Just something interesting to watch as many of us freeze our cans off here in the NH.

TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
105 PM EST THU FEB 08 2007

TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR NORTH AMERICA...
CENTRAL AMERICA...THE GULF OF MEXICO...THE CARIBBEAN SEA...
NORTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF SOUTH AMERICA...AND THE ATLANTIC
OCEAN TO THE AFRICAN COAST FROM THE EQUATOR TO 32N.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS BASED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY...
METEOROLOGICAL ANALYSIS...WEATHER OBSERVATIONS...AND RADAR.

BASED ON 1200 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1745 UTC.


THE ATLANTIC OCEAN...
WEAKENING SFC RIDGE IS OVER THE WRN ATLC OFFSHORE FLORIDA. THERE
IS A BAND OF UPPER MOISTURE FROM 23N-29N BETWEEN THE BAHAMAS AND
66W...WHICH MAY CONTAIN EMBEDDED SHOWERS. THERE MAY BE SOME WEAK
SFC TROUGHING IN THIS REGION WITH LOW LEVEL CONFLUENT FLOW NOTED
NEAR THE SE BAHAMAS. THE UPPER MOISTURE IS STREAMING E UNDER THE
HIGHLY ZONAL FLOW THAT IS NOTICED FROM FLORIDA TO 55W. A
DISSIPATING STATIONARY FRONT ENTERS THE AREA AT 32N44W AND
CONTINUES SW TO 24N62W. THERE MAY BE A FEW SHOWERS WITHIN 60 NM
OF THIS FRONT BUT OVERALL THE FEATURE CONTINUES TO LOSE ITS
IDENTITY. A 1026 MB SFC HIGH NEAR 28N25W DOMINATES THE E ATLC
SFC PATTERN. UPPER PATTERN E OF 55W IS DOMINATED BY RIDGING E
AND NE OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS TO 40W. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY THE
PRONOUNCED UPPER LOW SEEN SPINNING NEAR 13N34W. EXTENSIVE HIGH
LEVEL MOISTURE WITH EMBEDDED SCATTERED SHOWERS IS MOSTLY E OF
THE LOW FROM 6N-20N E OF 32W.

This also proves SouthFloridawx theory

Well... I definitely hear ya. Living here in florida means that I don't get to "enjoy" much of the experience that the rest of the country gets as far as winter goes... Although it has been a rainy winter since the end of december.
