Looks like it is time to keep that heater plugged in.

MIGHT get above freezing today. That Arctic air mass doesn't mess around. I did an internship with NASA in '97 and truth be known, we were looking at a ~6 to 7 year temperature range stabilization up until then. There is a long running, multi phase project called, "Mission to Planet Earth" that corroborated that with NOAA and other groups around the world. If that were not enough, from '99 to 2008 we have been in a progressive cooling trend. A similar change is happening on Mars. All the while solar output is very slightly decreasing (about 0.02% = 12 year low in brightness & 55 year low in radio output.) It runs in cycles, as it always has. They are NOT ready to call it another Maunder Minimum but they are calling it a "
Deep Solar Minimum." And as with NASA, it's
science 'We could be wrong, so stay tuned.'
