crap

The Old Farmer's Almanac released its winter weather forecast this week, inciting the usual squabble between the folksy, 224-year-old periodical and scientists who make long-term climate predictions.

The Almanac says, "Winter will be cold again in much of the nation, with below-normal temperatures along most of the Atlantic seaboard and in the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest, and southwestern states."

It also predicts that snowfall will be above normal in most of the Northeast and Ohio Valley, northern Plains and Pacific Northwest. Those areas should "brace for a slew of snow."

“Super cold is coming,” said the Almanac's editor, Janice Stillman. “But the good news is that areas with record-shattering snow last winter — like Boston — won’t have to deal with quite so many flakes.”

A 'mini ice age' is coming in the next 15 years
 
Solar activity is predicted to drop by 60 percent in 2030.

http://www.scienceal.....t-15-years

 

A new model that predicts the solar cycles more accurately than ever before has suggested that solar magnetic activity will drop by 60 percent between 2030 and 2040, which means in just 15 years’ time, Earth could sink into what researchers are calling a mini ice age. 

Such low solar activity has not been seen since the last mini ice age, called the Maunder Minimum, which plunged the northern hemisphere in particular into a series of bitterly cold winters between 1645 and 1715.
