Sunspot activity has been above projected numbers for 35 straight months now. There's a relatively new theory about a magnetic collapse of some sort that may or may not have happened. If such an event did occur, not the regular flipping of sunspot poles, etc., the theory is an intense solar cycle should occur. Evidence would suggest this is the case thus far. Is it coincidence? Time will tell.
*I probably watch space weather more than here*
I love space weather too. It’s a dream of mine to go to Iceland and sit under the skies and watch the Northern Lights dance overhead.
We don’t usually get the Lights down here but lucked out a little over a year ago and I was able to see them on the horizon (with a long exposure).
I already have plans with hotels booked to see the total annular eclipse in New Mexico this October as it crosses the US, and the total eclipse next April watching from somewhere in Texas!

Do you know where that temp is for?
Here’s the page the graph came from: https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/189/graphic-temperature-vs-solar-activity/

The pattern change that keeps getting delayed.
First it was after the 10th. Then the middle of the month. Now it’s the last 8-9 days of the month.
None of the cold shots have any staying power.
I get we’re at the end of the GFS run, but in the first image it shows a big trough over the east, and only 48 hours later has it lifting rapidly away and already filled in by warm ridging.

Found this graph that shows the increasing lack of direct correlation between low sunspot activity and temperatures, something the “morons” at NASA correctly predicted about this most recent lull in activity.

50.4 degrees so far today and lots of sunshine.
I saved Jim Flowers’ winter forecast and so far not looking too good. December was below average and January has been way above average. Of course, the 4” of snow we’ve had is nowhere close to 30” either, but our biggest storms can still occur of course.

12Z GFS got rid of the snowstorm just like the Euro.
Everyone’s favorite model is always whichever one is good for them. GFS was RAILED ON here for the last storm, and has been for a long time, but in the end could be considered as doing just as well as the Euro in that they were both wrong 4-5 days out by quite a bit.
Meanwhile nice week here coming up!

So the “garbage, absolute trash model” GFS shows a decent snowstorm, but the “king” Euro shows a rain only system….
I guess that means it’s going to rain right?

The .7” of snow from the last storm has melted and we’re in the mid 40s today.
Saw that we gain ~40 minutes of daylight this month and can’t help to think of spring already.
