Why are so many snowy owls showing up in places so far south from the Arctic?

I know a little bit about about solar dynamics, because my brother sends me stuff (he’s currently running a satellite measuring the Earth’s magnetosphere, but he used to be involved with both the Hubble and SOHO).

Can you explain to me how any increase or decrease of solar activity would result in the effects I previously mentioned, that I’ve personally observed with my own eyes? Seems like you’re hand-waving and telling me not to bother my pretty little head. Which happens to be the position of a certain political party I belong to.
