Earth's global magnetic field comes from an active dynamo -- that is, circulating currents at the planet's liquid metallic core. A similar dynamo once churned inside Mars, but for reasons unknown it stopped working four billion years ago. The patchwork fields we see now are remnants of that original magnetic field.

If the magnetic poles shift far enough from the rotational poles, it Will create a more dynamic interaction with solar winds. What this will mean overall is not fully understood.
Now, if this is indicative of a major change in the core, then it could lead to drastic weather pattern shifts, increased tectonic activity, etc. But so far all these are just theories, with precious little evidence to back them up. It is also possible that this could have some bearing on the recent heating phenomena we experienced (according to the article, this is not wholly new, but an acceleration of a continuing trend), but again, it's just a theory.
If the movement continues, I'm sure we'll discover what it means.

No, I didn't have any idea we had any vortexes in N.C. ! Where are the locations here.

The location of the auroras will shift with the magnetic poles.
The holes in the ozone layers will also shift with the magnetic poles.

i had a feeling there was something up but did know wot here in the uk we got a ft of snow and pretty much snow shower every day for a good week and its normaly reletivly mild around december he we dont seem to really hit winter till mid jan to end of feb,
i notised the weather was coming from the continent and thats allways when we in the uk get a very cold snap the winds was pretty much going directly west to canada/usa witch ive never seen them go that far out without hitting the jet stream and redirecting back in with low pressures, the jet stream looked like it had moves south and was coming in over southern spain & north africa,
id be more concerned if the pole didnt go back to its original location just slight nick in are weather patterns anywhere could have huge effects, if the pole did shift all the way to moscow the sahara may look very diffrent next year,
