The wind belts that extend from the poles to 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres are called the polar easterlies. The polar easterlies are formed as cold, sinking air moves from the poles toward 60 degrees north and south. in the north hemisphere , the polar easterlies can carry cold air which produces snow and freezing.

The westerlies can carry moist air over the United States, producing rain and snow .
