Today is the 25th day of February, 2012. It hasn't been very cold around here..

The average temperature for these 25 days has been, 34.1 F

Looking at the data for the same 25 days over the past 7 years,
2012 34.1
2011 27.2
2010 30.9
2009 30.5
2008 29.8
2007 24.1
2006 29.5
2005 28.5

You can see this winter, our February averaged above freezing!

Check out the sunspot sun spot numbers from 2005 to 2011..
IPS - Solar Conditions - Monthly Sunspot Numbers
Do those low numbers mean colder weather in Woburn??

But, it looks like the numbers just about doubled during 2011..
By the end of 2011, they are up around 71 spots per day..

Wow, maybe the sun is going to get back to normal again..?.

Maybe not.. The bad news is, the era of the Quite Sun might not be over..
Look at the Monthly solar cycle data chart at the bottom of this page.
Solar Terrestrial Activity Report
It looks like the count may have peaked in Nov 2011 and we are going down hill again!

Our Burst of Warmth this winter might have been caused by a peak
in sun spot numbers in Nov 2011..

If the daily sun spot count drops off again (as it appears to be doing), we might be looking at more cold winters..

If the count drops off fast, we might even have a very cool 2012 summer in the NE again..

I hate driving up to lake Winnie in July and August and not being able to swim without a wet suit..
