“IOW, you ain’t seen nothing yet”
SuspiciousObservers.org is reporting on these events daily and are saying the same thing.
Yes. That and a severe lack of sunspots. We may truly be headed into a new Maunder Minimum. It won't be pretty.
I live near Albuquerque. Yes, we are desert here, but high desert at well over 5,000 feet. Winters are normally mild here with few really cold days. Some of my trees had already started to bud out the first week of February. But this last weekend and early part of the week we got the tail end of that cold snap.
It reminded me of something I read on a placard at the Coronado State Monument in Bernalillo, NM, which sits very near the Rio Grande just north of Albuquerque. One of the placards talks of the Rio Grande freezing so thick that an ox-cart could be driven out onto the ice. This pre-dated the Maunder Minimum, but was still in what was referred to as the Little Ice Age.
