Looks, so far, like we’re in an extended solar minimum, IMO.
I’m at high elevation and altitude here, and we saw longer strings of nights -20 to -34, Fahrenheit (more fluctuations below normal temps for here). Warming from sunlight had obviously decreased drastically this winter. Increased particulate matter/water from increased, recent volcanism and fires as well as lack of solar activity contributed to cooling of exposed glazings and spaces (playing with solar heating up here). Anyway, my guess is that more folks at lower elevations will also see noticeably more cold fluctuations and more radical cold fluctuations in 3-6 years.
Another year of drought looks likely on the Rockies here, BTW (more junk in the air, generally lower wind speeds, slower evaporation, etc.).

Well, we did have the recent mega Japanese Earthquake. It occurred after the last solar minimum had ended and solar activity had quickly shot up to about 50 sunspots (about average). But solar magnetism got very low during the last minimum. Also, solar wind flow pressure has been dropping since 1992. So the last minimum had very low solar magnetism and very low solar wind flow pressure.

Being born in the early 1960’s I can say it looks the same.

The sunspot level is an indicator of the strength of the solar magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field, generated by its rotating core, is continually passing through the solar magnetic field.
I've wondered for a long time what sort of coupling effects there are, and what the effect on the Earth would be of the Sun's field's undergoing variation. I remember my college physics, but the analysis is a bit beyond me. Any physicists on this forum care to take a shot?

Go get your cataracts taken care of and white will look white again!

I have a weird question: Growing up twenty years ago, did you remember the sun appearing yellow in the sky? Does it look yellow now, or does it look white to you? The sun looks the same to me.
Furthermore, I went to Virginia Beach 40 years ago and 30 years ago and 20 years ago and last year. The ocean and the hotels and the beach have remained in exactly the same location during all these visits.
I remember it being very hot at the beach when I was a child many years ago. I remember it being very hot at the beach when I was there last year. No discernable difference.
