We are supposed to go into a grand solar minimum in this cycle or the next. I always thought that those actually caused a cooling of the earth and altered weather patterns, not global warming. Oh well, we got eighteen inches of heavy wet snow a couple of days ago, it was a nightmare. Our power was out for eighteen hours, my brothers was out for about thirty two hours I think, but we are lucky, we have power. Lots of trees and branches broke off everywhere. My yard and drive is a mess, a tree fell on my camper but I will not know how bad it was till after the storm tomorrow night, might as well wait to see if more trees go down, their branches are full of Ice and snow, really not a nice thing.
It happens every so often, but we had two bad years of damaging early winter heavy wet snow in a row now. I hate to see the damage of the trees on my land.
Im set up with generators, lots of fuel, battery bank, invertors, and plan on setting up a wind turbine soon. I also have at least 1000 lbs of food reserves

Grand Solar Minimum?
No. Not yet. We won't know for sure by 2021-22. Solar maximum is supposed to be in mid 2023. I know for fact that this year sunspot is the lowest in last century. Cycle 24 is the lowest in last few cycles. I dont consider this as "Grand" yet. But, yeah, this is serious stuff if sunspots are disappearing. 2020-22 are gonna be interesting.

I also think we are going into a Grand Solar Minimum. The global warming hoax is about to be turned on its head in my opinion.
heres another good interview about it.
cant get the embed to work for some reason but heres a link. www.youtube.com...
Roughly every two years we’re treated to headlines repeating the myth that Earth is headed for an imminent “mini ice age.” It happened in 2013, 2015, and again just recently at the tail end of 2017.
This time around, the myth appears to have been sparked by a Sky News interview with Northumbria University mathematics professor Valentina Zharkova. The story was quickly echoed by the Daily Mail, International Business Times, Sputnik News, Metro, Tru News, and others. Zharkova was also behind the ‘mini ice age’ stories in 2015, based on her research predicting that the sun will soon enter a quiet phase.
...
Is another grand solar minimum imminent?
Although it would have a relatively small impact on the climate, it’s still an interesting question to ask whether we’re headed for another quiet solar period. Zharkova thinks so. Her team created a model that tries to predict solar activity, and suggests another solar minimum will occur from 2020 to 2055. However, other solar scientists have criticized the model as being too simple, created based on just 35 years of data, and failing to accurately reproduce past solar activity.

Y'all are both doing better than me. I don't have anything like that, but I do have guns and a water source and a couple of weeks ago, I saw 5 deer by my middle pond so I can hunt and have that. Also fish.

Do you have anything to back that claim?
Something like 14 of 15 years have been the hottest on record. The temperature globally is still ticking up.
I guarantee in 20 years the trend will continue. A solar minimum will not stop the rising thermometer.

We got about 18 inches of heavy wet snow last Wednesday into Thursday, had to shift Thanksgiving dinner to Friday at four. Then on Saturday night we got another eighteen inches of heavy snow going into Sunday afternoon. We have three feet of snow on the ground now, and the banks around my driveway and on the county road are six feet high everywhere already. Before that we only had about an inch of snow on the ground. My Tractor is overheating the coil from blowing six and a half feet wide of snow eighteen inches high and I need to get a coil and maybe some points for it. The governor is not working correctly, I have to somehow get some oil on it too. The plow truck will not plow that much snow when it is heavy like that.
Our power was out for eighteen hours the first time and it was out for a short time during the second storm. Then the other night the whole area where I am was out of power for six hours. The tree branches are full of snow and breaking off and whole trees are breaking. I had to take the chainsaw out when I plowed today to cut a big pine branch by the mailbox and to cut off branches overhanging the driveway. Again, that is the third time. Trees are breaking all around here, one tree fell on our camper, I do not know how much damage it has yet. The snow was drifted around the cars to the height of the door handles, hard as rock. I have big snowmoving equiptment and a yooper scooper and shovels, it sucks, no regular push snowblower.
I think we are on the way to having the ice age already.
