Obama’s fault.

Solar activity seems to be picking up? One sun spot at a time?

I heard the Weather Channel founder speaking the other day. He said that sunspots were causing the earth’s Jet Stream to loop farther south, bringing unseasonably cool weather. That the sun has been in a no-sun-spot period for the last 8 years, causing NO Global Warming. And he did not have nice things to say about the GW crowd.

Sounds like they are still trying to understand what went wrong. Maybe they could read the scientific paper discussing this.

Coldest summer I can remember since my youth here in CT.

We might see increasing solar activity early in the coming year—activity that will increase maybe until sometime in 2013. The maximum is not expected to be as high as the last.

So it will be much colder on higher elevations and continue to be very hot at lower elevations. Run for your lives. ;-)

I enjoy the changes in weather and look forward to building the tower, elevators, etc., to go for walks on top of the glacier.

Polar Bear Al is on the case!

If you stare at it long enough you can see some green shoots too.

Does ANYBODY here remember the Maunder Minimum? From 1645 to 1715, scientists reported effectively ZERO sunspot activity, and as a result our planet went into a "mini Ice Age" with the Thames River in England freezing over every winter. It appears our Sun may be heading for another round of no sunspot activity for a couple of decades.

Sunspot Delay Due to Sluggish Solar "Jet Stream"?

I'm sure obamarama and those silly congress people are working on a Sunspot Stimulus Package at this very moment.

It is 45 degrees here in the Poconos this morning - - about 75 miles from NYC as the crow flies, but here the elevation is about 1400 feet.

Of 11 tomato plants - some as high as my waist and two feet across (covered with blossoms)- - only two have been able to set fruit at these very cold night time temps. Forecast indicates low to mid-50’s at night for the next week at least. Tomatoes won’t make fruit at these low temperatures.

If you look at http://www.spaceweather.com a Russian volcano has spewed SO2 into the air in the far north which will make the situation even colder since SO2 reflects sun light.

Thanks neverdem. This has been posted somehow, before this, I recognize the graphic, but adding to the catalog without a ping.
