As you can see, the sun spot numbers were high, a few years BEFORE 2006.
Higher sun spot counts means we see 'normal' temperatures. (Warmer).
It was likely those prior warmer years that caused the 06 melting.
But, in 2006, the sun spot numbers were going down pretty low..
The kept dropping until 2009, before starting back up towards normal..

BUT, if our big peak was late in 2011, it's going to be more quite sun
and more cold winters in NE (like we had 2005 to 2011)..

Of course, my 'predictions' are only based on the sunspot influencing
the temperature in the NE..
Other factors like volcanoes and El-Ninos will also have their influence..
