Deep solar minimum...

is occurring right now according to NASA. Key bit:
"We're experiencing a very deep solar minimum," says solar physicist Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center.

"This is the quietest sun we've seen in almost a century," agrees sunspot expert David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.
We've had the snowiest winter in Spokane. Ditto for the northern Great Plains and Canada. Lake Superior has frozen over this year. Coincidences?

Oh yeah. I just opened the back door and measured 4 inches of newly fallen snow and more is predicted today. Morning headline: record snowfall blankets Inland Northwest.
