I've been wondering whether a repeat performance is occurring. If so,
this could mean another cold winter or two for us, followed by a spell
of mild winters. Another effect would be an increase in East Greenland
ice for a few years, but this could also help towards more record lows
in the Arctic summer by reducing old ice amounts there.

I am hoping that the recent 2-3 "surprise" winters has already prompted
research into the causes.

Time to re-evaluate the work of Lorenz and Chaos Theory, perhaps,
in view of the amount of ordnance that's been chucked about recently.

Spoken as one who vividly remembers the 1947 winter as an 11 year
old. We were assured then that the recent atomic explosions at the end
of WW2 couldn't possibly affect the weather as their energy was
insignificant compared with storm systems. Curiously no one disputes
that Krakatoa changed the weather for several years.
