May be time to tune up those snowmobiles.........

"The sun has reached a milestone not seen for nearly 100 years: an entire month has passed without a single visible sunspot being noted. "

"In the past 1000 years, three previous such events -- the Dalton, Maunder, and Spörer Minimums, have all led to rapid cooling. One was large enough to be called a "mini ice age"."

What's the duration of the average mini ice-age, anyway? That article is enough to make me want to hope that Al Gore might have been right.
