You're saying the heat in the arctic last summer pushed the cold down to Houston. Heat is such a bully.

hot storms go up both Oceans, but the storms in the Atlantic tend to run into land

Anyone who looks at a globe will know you're an idiot. There is more open water extending into the Arctic ocean between NA and Europe than between NA and Asia.
