I hope it picks up. So far, it's showing some promise, but nothing to write home about..

Some folks (and some at at the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force Research Laboratory)
are starting to think we might be slipping into another 'Maunder Minimum'..
Earth may be headed into a mini Ice Age within a decade ? The Register

If we get a full recovery of normal sun spot numbers, then we can
worry about the temperature going up..
Otherwise, we might need to start thinking about 30 HP snow throwers..
(Or moving to South Texas)..
