I think actually according to meteorologists, there has been a lot less sunspot activity than we've been used to the past few decades. If it stays that way, they say we can expect the weather to be possibly quite a bit cooler than normal for a while.

buy some skiis and enjoy it. and a fur coat was the recomendation...

kind of a cold hole there in the global warming agenda which maybe has you psyched up to think it should be getting warmer, not cooler.

we'll see I guess.

I think the weather is just... the weather. Personally I've appreciated the wet dreary springtime very much, great for the garden. My plants really need it this time of year to set their roots nice and deep. July isn't that far off...
