Cold weather is expected to continue through at least the balance of the year in the U.S. Midwest which will keep many river shipping channels frozen and prevent normally smooth transfer of grain, an agricultural meteorologist said on Friday.
The Farmers’ Almanac in August, 2013 was using words like "piercing cold," "bitterly cold" and "biting cold" to describe the upcoming winter.
Based on planetary positions, sunspots and lunar cycles, the almanac’s secret formula is largely unchanged since founder David Young published the first almanac in 1818. Modern scientists don’t put much stock in sunspots or tidal action, but the almanac says its forecasts used by readers to plan weddings and plant gardens are correct about 80 percent of the time.
Most modern scientists have lost their objectivity. Quantum physics predicted that and after all, we should know that objective things do not exist because the subjective is always projected onto the objective.
The Almanac offers solid advice to farmers exactly because it is based on correct astrophysical principles.
It is as scientific as it gets when it comes to dependable weather prediction.
Cairo saw its first snow in years as a cold snap hits Egypt and the rest of the Middle East.
This snowstorm named Alexa, brought more misery to thousands of Syrian refugees living in the region, many of whom were unprepared for the cold, brutal conditions.
In Israel, where the storm reportedly brought the heaviest December snowfall since 1953, roads had to be closed and thousands were left without power from the inclement weather.
Whatever may have seemed plausible 10 years ago Global Warming is over and there is no evidence that CO² ever was, is or will be a driver of world temperatures or climate change - indeed evidence of this relationship is leaning the other way.
We know that small fluctuations in solar activity have a large influence on climate.
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has updated their monthly graph set and it is becoming even clearer that we are past solar max, and that solar max has been a dud.
"The slump" continues not only in sunspot activity, but also other metrics.
Little Ice Age
Solar activity is now at a 200-year low!
Back in July the low activity put us at only 100 year low but things are changing fast in a cooling direction. Solar Cycle #24 was then see to have been off to a sputtering start, and researchers that attended the meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Solar Physics Division earlier that month were divided as to why.
Now in the Wall Street Journal, six months later, he is being quoted as saying,
David is a global warming proponent who is conceding the dimming sun will neutralize global warming to some extent but he keeps his mouth shut about the volcanic situation.
Times of depressed solar activity do correspond with times of global cold. For example, during the 70-year period from 1645 to 1715, few, if any, sunspots were seen, even during expected sunspot maximums. Western Europe entered a climate period known as the "Maunder Minimum" or "Little Ice Age." Temperatures dropped by 1.8 to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conversely, times of increased solar activity have corresponded with global warning. During the 12th and 13th centuries, the Sun was active, and the European climate was quite mild.
According to NOAA and NASA, the sunspot cycle hit an unusually deep bottom from 2007 to 2009. In fact, in 2008 and 2009, there were almost NO sunspots, a very unusual situation that had not happened for almost a century.
Due to the weak solar activity, galactic cosmic rays were at record levels.
Solar Maximum:
Throughout 2013, the sun was relatively quiet.
Solar activity and sunspots are minuscule in comparison to what they should be right now.
Even in accordance to all NASA’s predictions to date in recent years, solar activity is way off to the low side. We are now facing an extremely low period of solar activity over the coming years and decades. Due to the strong correlation of historical evidence we can conclude that we are sitting right on the cusp of the next ice age or at a minimum, another mini ice-age.
I said in my last global cooling essay people should prepare and take care.
This winter is going to freeze the guts out of the global warming crowd, it’s going to drive up the price of energy, people will freeze to death and others will be strapped to the financial wall with the increased cost of heating their homes that leak badly having never been designed for a super cold climate.
Not convinced yet? Too early to call the next ice age?
Over 2000 cold and snow records were set in the USA this past week reports one site on global warming.
They show record numbers for low temps at 606, low maximum temps at 1234 and snowfalls at 385 all totaling 2225 records.

We are just warming up to global cooling but we are in danger of going from cooling to dead stone cold. It really does not matter what I or anyone says or predicts.
We will be living with the weather day by day whether we like it or not.
'One thousand mile long snowstorm to pummel U.S. Northeast' is the headline just as I finish this essay.
Some might laugh at my warning of the coming age of ice. Nothing about what is happening with the weather can be explained by CO2 global warming theories. If they were in anyway correct we would not be seeing such early sustained cold in the northern hemisphere.
The sun is dim and volcanoes are having their say on how much the sun shines down to us on the surface of our earth. We will all have front row seats on the surface of the planet.
It is hard to hide dramatic climate changes but since denial is the watchword of the modern world we will just have to see what is upon us.
