Nope - not this time - at least not from me. The real answer to that question would take a full course in Meteorology to properly answer. My best advice is to treat your desire for more knowledge on the subject of weather - like the old adage about eating an elephant - one bite at a time (and small bites at that). My own personal knowledge of Meteorology has taken over 52 years to acquire - and that elephant has hardly a scratch on it

For LI Phil:
Yeah - probably in the wrong place - but it was relevant to the discussion.
