The top gurus of Global Warming were telling us MORE THAN 2 YEARS AGO that Cycle 24 would begin year before last and would be the biggest sunspot cycle in history.

So far they've been really, really, really wrong.

Gonna' be a cold winter Fur Shur. Lake Michigan will freeze over like it hasn't done for 30 years, and large sheets will cover Lake Shore Drive and cause regular problems on the parallel Interstate a few blocks to the West.

Obama will declare a National Emergency to "save Chicago from the Lake".

I spent a winter working in the Benton Harbor area about 10 years ago. It wasn't all that cold, but man do ya'll get the snow! One storm dropped over 3' in about 4-5 hours. We went from a bare parking lot at the hotel where I was staying to about waist deep snow in about 4 hours.....

Wow! Obama was elected less than a week ago, and he’s already solved global warming!

Here's a fun post from Anthony Watts on the subject. It has a nice animated gif showing the moving goalposts.

Bring out the ice boats. Remember flying over Lake Michigan in the mid 70s with no open water visible(commercially O’hare to DC). Lots of snow drifts on the ice.
