Noooo! One cold winter was enough. We froze our collective bottoms off this past winter. :-0

I looked into this sunspot/cold correlation once in school. I think I remember the years 1911-1914 being similar to what’s happening now. Does this ring any bells with you?

Found this chart on an Accuweather blog page via a google search.

1911-1914 is a close match, but looking at these charts I would have to guess that the solar cycle in 1790 is similar to cycle 23 followed by the cycle in 1805 (solar cycle 5) that may be similar to cycle 24. A fairly strong cycle followed by an extended minimum and a peak that is around 50. So our current winter should be similar to 1802-1803 winters. That would be similar to the start of Dalton Minimum territory.
