By Joseph D’Aleo, CCM, AMS Fellow
......
As cold expanding high pressure expands south into the lower 48 next week, it will suppress the jet stream and its associated still active storm track well south resulting in a MEMORABLE wintry weather period that will in the end when taken together with the cold in December and January have this winter remembered as an old-fashioned 1960s like winter. Many places deep into the south and east will see heavy snow and ice while unseasonably cold air dominates across the north.
....
More cold will occur in the UK and all Europe the next few weeks, where the warm winter forecast by the UKMO also never materialized. Very heavy snows will fall in the mountains where it has been a very snowy winter. Even the forecasters in the UK have noted some similarity to the 1960s and mentioned the early 1800s. Surprisingly that is what the low solar (sun still spotless like a Florida orange which ironically Thursday was caked in ice with temperatures down into the 20s – 23 in Palmdale) suggests – a return to the early 1800s Dalton like minimum weather.

More cold will occur in the UK and over the next few weeks all across Europe, where the warm winter forecast by the UKMO also never materialized. Incredible snowfall totals will fall in the the mountains. Even the forecasters in the UK have noted some similarity to the 1960s and mentioned the early 1800s. That is what the continuing extremely quiet sun (still spotless like a Florida orange which ironically Thursday were caked in ice with temperatures down into the 20s, 23 in Palmdale) and an analysis of past cycles suggests a return to the early 1800s Dalton like minimum weather.
.....
The last four cycles were very similar to late 1700s prior to the Dalton Minimum, which makes sense given the phasing of the 106 and 212 year minima the next few decades (Clilverd et al 2006 forecast shown).
