Ready for a solar minimum winter?

[ChrisSmolinski]

The theory is that lower SSN winters tend to have more blocking weather patterns, which keeps the cold air in place when moisture arrives, so you tend to get more snow and less cold rain.

It's not saying there's a link between solar activity and temperature (although of course there may well be one), and note this is specific to the northeastern USA, not USA overall or world wide. Nor is it a guarantee of increased snowfall for a particular winter, just an increase in the chances.

Think I've read where the record has shown that solar minimums bring colder winters. Now we just need a good eruption or two for another year without summer.

Maybe the coming Civil War 2.0 will go nukyaler.

Dunno, mebbe nucular winter won't be a thing as more and more countries desire the benefits of neutron weapons, with their greatly reduced fallout yet greatly increased immediate incapacitation and death.
