Quite a rare event. It seems some have died, but I am having difficultly finding links. But, not to worry, noithing going on with the World Climate, right?
Since the original link doesn't mention tornadoes at all, I assume the OP is referring to the one which struck Cincinnati, AR today and killed at least 3 people.
Tornadoes can, and have, occurred at any time of the year, in just about any place in the lower 48. Of course, some places are much more prone to tornadoes than others, but no place is immune.
The point is that one tornado, or even a series of them, striking at any given time or any given place isn't "proof" of anything except that they can hit.

In the Southeast, November (although not a winter month) has a higher mortality rate, despite the low frequency rate.
The other thing I came across is when they do occur in the winter months they are generally stronger. This date is not exactly winter either but according to Wikipedia the "most extreme" in the US occurred on March 18, 1925.

The most extreme tornado in recorded history was the Tri-State Tornado, which roared through parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana on March 18, 1925. It was likely an F5, though tornadoes were not ranked on any scale in that era. It holds records for longest path length (219 miles, 352 km), longest duration (about 3.5 hours), and fastest forward speed for a significant tornado (73 mph, 117 km/h) anywhere on Earth. In addition, it is the deadliest single tornado in United States history (695 dead).
When something like this occurs again the AGW alarmists will be using it as an example of climate change.

Yes, yes! Any weird bit of weather is now under the umbrella of the AGW believers.
They have all bases covered now.
