Default During the last ice age...

High pressure would probably have covered the ice sheets for most of the
time. There was no or very little in the way of a thermohaline circulation
and therefore less likelihood of a Westerly flow. Take all of the great
winters of the past, each one has had a major high pressure system involved
at some stage.


Unlikely, what?

The ability for the anticyclones to maintain cold air through a summer
is a little far fetched isn't it?

As for the lows, they tend to reach five or so degrees Centigrade higher
than the norm in winter, do they not?

Still each one to his own gods I suppose.

(Bloody fools.)
