Look at this, from my state of NH:

Article Date: Friday, February 29, 2008
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) _ As snow continues piling up toward a record in Concord (New Hampshire), the temperature dipped down to a record.
With a low of 11 below zero around dawn, it’s the coldest February 29th on the books.
The previous record was 1 below, in 1980.
Concord wasn’t the coldest spot in the state. It was around 30 below in the North Country.

Brrrrrr!!!
Yeah, one of the problems with solar minimums is how the solar wind supposedly blocks cosmic rays which play a role in cloud formation. More clouds while it’s cold already and you have a bad situation brewing.
I hope you are doing ok.
