Or more generally whats the most bizare frontal system you have ever seen? I am interested to know if for instance, systems with more than 3 airmasses are possible e.g would you ever be able to get a quadruple point?

Great question Q.
Interesting.
Somehow I can't see it.
Mabey Hurricane Sandy could have touched upon it at some later stage?.

Some of the weirdest fax charts I have seen recently are the ones where there is a 'frontal overdose' in that about 3 or 4 (I am sure I have seen 5 once) frontal zones are aligned parallel to each other within the same trough system. Can look really ridiculous.
