I remember one KY Derby Day (first Saturday in May), when I went to an outside derby party...it snowed about two inches and later on, it hit about 70 and a thunderstorm.
Weather be weird. This was around the late 80s, so I don’t know what phase the sun was in.
The early Spanish explorers planted the first orange trees around St. Augustine, Florida, sometime between 1513 and 1565.
By the 1800’s citrus trees could be found growing wild throughout North Florida. By 1893 over five million boxes were being produced. Producing orange groves were found throughout north Florida and the panhandle. Orange Lake near Ocala was a major production area.
In 1894-95 there was a massive freeze including blizzards in December 1894 and February 1895. As a result production dropped to 147 thousand, and growers started their move southward down the peninsula. In 1899 there was another February blizzard in Florida.
Further freezes in 1934, 1962, 1977 caused the citrus industry to move further and further down the peninsula.
So when Al Gore was proclaiming “Global Warming”, to my thoughts were that he had spent too much time being raised in that hotel in DC, and had no idea what weather is.
Now they cry “Climate Change”, and all I can think is he’s making money on the deal, especially the Carbon Credit scam.
Someone needs to list where all the carbon credit money ends up. gore probably get some of it. What other politician receives the money?
Aw, dang. Get ready for new MSM narrative. Either we’re heading for a new ice age, like we were in 1977-78, or the sun’s burning out and we have to throw a planet in it or something.
Thanks for posting. I’ve been following this for awhile, with great interest.
I hope NOT! I hate cold weather!
One of the best books I have ever read is A Land Remembered
It's a yarn about a family of true Florida Crackers settling the wilderness of Florida written in the theme of Lonesome Dove crossed with a James Mitchner novel.
There's a detailed section about the killing freeze you mentioned and the havoc it wreaked on Florida farmers and orange growers.
OTHER planets, such as Mars, had been showing signs of “global warming” during the 1990s and early 2000s. I suspect, if anyone cared to look now, they would see signs of “global cooling”.
Africa and India hardest hit

Above is a link to a graph with the number of sunspots. 1862 seemed to be about normal. The year 1867 was low sunspots. I think one needs to look at the overall trends though over 5 to 10 years - not just a single year’s number.
I’m not sure if the results are “equalized” across the years to take into account the better optics used in modern times. Although to see sunspots, whatever the astronomers had in 1860 was probably still good enough to see all of the sunspots.
thx
But hey, even more ice in the Arctic for the increased polar bear population. It must suck to be you and so wrong. How'd that sequel go? Grossed 100 bucks yet?
‘mysterious fluctuating dark patterns on the sun’s surface is nothing if not controversial.’ I am beginning to think when the word controversy or controversial is mentioned it means the journalist has no common sense. All that is controversial is that common sense is ignored.
Most of growers fall somewhere in the middle so they are up a creek.
Building a frame that can hold shade cloth to protect the trees is on the list at Casa de Oso. If they are covered and you put some source of heat inside you can usually keep your trees safe.
Thank you.
I remember my grandmother reading one of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ books, because it described how many people lived in North Central Florida in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
She grew up on a farm near Salem, Florida, which is south of Perry.
So are GMOs. And some people scream about a danger from them.
I just farted.
Is that on the chart?
WUWT is a great site for the real info on “Global (non) Warming.” I read it most every day. Very good, very sciency, and funny a hell, too. Comments can be lol funny.
Uranus has nothing to do with sun spots.
