Is this because of Climate Change??????
Maybe those gas-guzzling SUV’s
There are no guarantees with these solar downturns. During the Maunder minimum, temperatures were generally 2-3 deg lower than before or afterwards, but not every winter was cold. In the Dalton minimum (roughly 1795 to 1835) it was a similar story. The frequency of cold winters rises from the usual 2 or 3 out of 10 to more like 4 or 5 out of 10 but note that even then, there are frequently average or even mild winters.
Trying to take long-term solar trends as a foundation for single season forecasting is a bit of a crap shoot.
As for any conclusions about ice ages or even little ice ages, there may be enough fact in the AGW fiction that (perversely) the warming will cancel out the cooling and we’ll be left with dull normalcy.
So Freezing is the new Global Warming?
