AND, it's undergoing the weakest solar cycle in over a century. If it keeps up the Brits could have ice skating on the Thames in June! 8)

Don't be alarmed! It is the quietest it has been in over a century!

The main driver of all weather and climate, the entity which occupies 99.86% of all of the mass in our solar system, the great ball of fire in the sky – has gone quiet again during what is likely to be the weakest sunspot cycle in more than a century. For the past 5 days, solar activity has been very low and one measure of solar activity – its X-ray output – has basically flatlined in recent days (plot below courtesy NOAA/Space Weather Prediction Center). Not since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906 has there been a solar cycle with fewer sunspots. We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and today the sun is virtually spotless despite the fact that we are still in what is considered to be its solar maximum phase. Solar cycle 24 began after an unusually deep solar minimum that lasted from 2007 to 2009 which included more spotless days on the sun compared to any minimum in almost a century.

Got the furnace in. Poor gas guy must be overworked. He showed at 11:30pm. It's below zero outside, but about 70 inside.

It's got a huge heat pump outside so we can keep the temp down when summer gets here. Last summer didn't exist (only a few 90plus days)
