Lots of good information at Icecap.us.
I'm betting on a real cold winter if the Sun keeps up at the current pace. Sunspot activity is still very low.

Our politicians haven't noticed that the problem may be that the world is not warming but cooling, observes Christopher Booker.
In Manitoba last week, it was -4ºC. North Dakota had its first June snow for 60 years.
a veteran US grain expert said last week: "In 43 years I've never seen anything like the decline (crop yield) we're looking at in South America."

Crop production problems will not be solved in Washington DC.
The crop yields we have had from new crop varieties over the past 50 years have shown huge increases. This prevented worldwide food problems. You are right crops are not adapted to all climates, and you cannot predict the weather year-to-year.
My family has farmed in the same county in Texas since 1886, and another county for a time after we were displaced by Reconstruction in Alabama.
I do not farm, but all the rest of my family do. My connection with this is hands on and over a long period of time.
Gentlemen, we are witnessing an attempt to put the U.S. under a Global Government. This Global Warming scam is only a piece of the attack. It is based on a lie, for a reason. Control.
The climate is falling people are never satisfied. First it’s too warm and getting warmer and we’re all gonna die and now it’s too cold and getting colder and we’re all gonna die. Boring...
In the 70's the cry was "a new ice-age is coming!".
Do ya think...hey!...
Chicken Little “the sky is falling” — Give me the Money.
“Should I buy a new Suburban from Obama Motors?”
Absolutely not, but if you buy one now you’d be getting one of the old, “good” ones. ;-) Of course a lease turn-in is usually a much better deal than a new one.
CO2 is actually good, not because it’ll boost temperatures (it won’t make any real difference) but because it helps crops grow. The extra CO2 in the air now supposedly causes 30% more crop growth than if there’d been no industrial output.
“After all climate change is an AC-DC project and it can swing both ways.”
Well...while the argument with global warming was that it is “person-made” (manmade? how un-pc), the same doesn’t apply to global cooling. It is strictly a natural thing, and to mess with it would be Ecological Heresy. As for me, I say “Drill, Baby, Drill!”.
The good news is, we may be seeing open season on polar bears pretty soon. I know Governor Palin would approve! :-)
Government certainly creates more problems than it solves.
So stop burning corn in the cars, Idiots!

Yes, like the old Walt Disney movie the “Sorcer’s Apprentice”.
Give great power to children and you get dangerous unintended results.
In this case it is worse. It is the intended result, to destroy the U.S. as you and I know it.
Obozo is Traitor-In-Chief.
We have been having just the opposite here in Alabama - much cooler than usual, but also much much wetter. The days that there is no rain though have had very little humidity.
By now we are usually mid-90’s with excessive humidity. Last week was our first 90 degree day, and most days have been 85-90 with 20-25% humidity interspersed with mid-70’s-mid 80’s and heavy rain days.
The key is “weather variability” not hot/cold wet/dry. Weather variability by location not global trend.
My ancestors were at one time near Wedowee in Randolph County, AL. During Reconstruction they were burned out and went GTT (Gone To Texas)
"Quickly now - there is no time to waste!
We must pass Cap and Trade before the
little people are informed of these facts. " 
Cap & Trade is about taxing for Global Government. Just another peg in the coffin. An extension on the “Big Lie”.
Temperatures have been falling (contrary to Global Warming) and Crop yield will be down this year at least in the areas I can access.
It is time to twist the ears of our Congress Critters, stating that we are going to throw you bums all out.
We are on a self destruct coarse with autopilot engaged. We need an experience pilot at the controls, not a Lying Kenyan Commie.
Obligatory D@mn Glow Bull Warming comment.
Frankly, I'd love to say that we will take to the streets to take oiur country back. Unfortunately, I'm losing my faith in the American people to actually take action. For far too long, we've allowed ourselves to be brainwashed into believing that "the system will correct itself, just give it time".
How much more time do we need to give it? We are watching our country be wrecked by an illegal president and a complicit Congress unwilling to step up to the plate and stand up for America. This train wreck isn't happening in Europe, it's happening right here, under our noses. It isn't America "tut-tutting" about the demise of another country, it is Europe "tut-tutting" about the demise of America!
Sadly, we have become a pathetic joke of what we used to be.
He bought a Prius and started driving it and look how well it's working.
If I were to buy enough of those screwy looking fluorescent bulbs, we could have ice-fishing in July.
