It will be quite a few months before we see any significant numbers of sunspots. Wont help us this winter at all and we will probably see another cold winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The Northern Hemispheres next winter will be cold but with perhaps less rain/snow. At present, they will have 14 feet of new snow in the Sierra Mountains by Monday just from the past few storms. What will be key is the magnitude of Solar Cycle 24. NASA already predicts cycle 25 to be very low.
Are space weathermen more accurate than meteorologists?
