In addition, the next solar maximum is predicted to occur in late 2013 or early 2014, not 2012.

I guess that's NASA's latest prediction. They've been moving it forward a year for the last 3, because there was such a dearth of sunspots in the 2008-2010 time frame. They kept predicting the new solar cycle would ramp up, and it just didn't happen. Now the sunspots are coming back, but they're not anywhere NEAR a maximum, and may not even get there by 2014, despite NASA predictions.

If sunspots will mean reasonably warm weather then I hope they increase for a few more years. Snow up the wazoo is just not fun.
