There's a sci-fi novel in which the jet stream makes a series of dips from near outer space to the surface of the earth, causing a"random" scattering of deeply and instantly frozen local environments. They are so cold and become so frequent that a new ice age sweeps over the earth in a few weeks, causing somewhat predictable disasters. I do not remember the title nor the author's name, but the fictional scenario seemed possible if very remote. I don't know what research, if any, the author conducted.

Explain the processes of headward erosion and stream piracy?
Headward erosion is a fluvial process of erosion that lengthens a stream, a valley or a gully at its head and also enlarges its drainage basin. The stream erodes away at the rock and soil at its headwaters in the opposite direction that it flows. Once a stream has begun to cut back, the erosion is sped up by the steep gradient the water is flowing down. As water erodes a path from its headwaters to its mouth at a standing body of water, it tries to cut an ever-shallower path. This leads to increased erosion at the steepest parts, which is headward erosion. (wikipedia)When this happens, the erosion can break through into another stream and the water from the stream is diverted. So the stream is "stealing" the other stream's water.

It is only bad if there is a woman in the house. Women, as a group, are rather squeamish about germs and greatly dislike the prospect of having to touch a toilet seat. If it's always left down, then there is no need for them to ever touch it.
