Some would say our winters are overall getting colder since 1989. However, the sunspot cycle from 1996 to 2007 had the most, warmest-winters of 1885 to 2009.
We had six strong sunspot cycles beginning 1934. That is where we are getting our global warming.
We began our 3rd year with growing sunspot activity averaging about two a day. Historically, this is not enough for a strong hurricane season. Last year we had 9. This year, we should see 5 to 7 with a 50/50 mix of tropical storms and hurricanes.
Our earth, though cooling, could send us at least 1 major hurricane.
Ref years, 1910, 1922 and 1924.
Still, be prepared.
