Interesting, I didn't know they got tornados in England.

The UK has the largest number of tornadoes in the world if you go by
tornadoes/sq mile. If you are looking for size though, you had best
stay home. Also due to the highly built up infrastructure of one of the
most densly populated countries in the world, storm chasing is a no-no
here.

Well, you are correct in the sense that the system that is mentioned
produced an unusually early blast of cold air and a lot of snow.

What I have been posting over the last few years over the internet,
concerns what amounts to an explanation of the so called "oscillations"
first proposed as the ENSO. Whilst the phases of the moon produce the
low pressures we get around the Caribbean and the NW Atlantic (at the
times stated elsewhere) it would seem that they produce att he same
time, the droughts felt on the western coast of the USA and in
Australia.

(Not that I have gone into any detail about that last part.)

I dare say there may turn out to be a sonic effect induced by it all
somehow, producing standing waves. That may well go some way to explain
the Icelandic Low and the Azores High. I find it interesting that the
cyclones around the outer edges of where the Azores high reaches from
time to time are also phenomenae related to higher than normal
temperatures.

Contemporary explanations on that subject lead nowhere past 4 or 5
days. My own feeling is that a study of the duality of chords might be
more productive in the long run.

(Duality is the counterpoint of geometric shapes, where the centre of
each face of a polyhedron produces the corners of another polyherdron
as in -for example: a cube and an octohedron. But it sounds too
Keppleresque to be true.

There is another (as far as I know) non-Euler concept of duality where
the chords of the tangents of a distant object -such as for example:
the moon on the earth; run out to a curve in -or near, the surface of
the earth. But I'd have to learn CAD before I shall be able to get my
head around that sort of thing.)
