According to the experts, we may be in
for an El Ninõ style winter here in the US! That would mean warmer than normal
temps to the north and wetter than normal stuff to the south. I'll go
out on a limb and initially forecast a much colder than normal regime
for just about everyone. I base this prediction of the lower than
normal solar max we've been experiencing as well as the fact that the
recent trend for the sun, over the past few years has been fewer and
fewer sunspots! In past ages, the lack of sunspots has translated into cooler global temps!
Last fall, I called the Winter of 2013-14 pretty well: "Taking just those factors into consideration, (I've left out the Milanovitch Cycles for this discussion), I've come to feeling that this winter will be a little on the cold side, but still well within the historical averages. That said, (the fly in the ointment being CO2 and the anthropogenic climate forcing it causes), we may see some really weird winter storms this time around. Time will tell..."
