Seems like while we're all baking in the sun,nature has a different idea. A new record lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth in Antarctica.

rrlund. Sprinking north of you near Traverse City. Don't think we are going to get any/much rain, but the temp has dropped to 75. Almost feels cold!

Haven't seen any flights to Antarctica at the Lansing airport but I might go to Florida and visit my brother-in-law for a cool down.

Here in Branch County it was 101F at 2pm. No rain, looks like Indiana got it again. All crops looking worse every day.

Well, y'gotta remember, it's WINTER down there this time of year! When we have fall, it'll be Spring down there, and then just watch the ice melt!
I think when all's said and done, meteorologists are going to have conclusive evidence to tie solar storms to droughts. The Dust Bowl in the 1930s, the big drought in the 1950s, and the early 1980s. All this wet weather when there wasn't much solar flare activity, and now that the sun has woke up again, it's back. There wasn't very accurate measuring of solar storms until relatively recently, but there is now and it's been pretty intense over the past year or so.
Seeing the Aurora Borealis in Iowa has been rare, but it's happened quite a bit in 2012. And it seems pretty obvious how much it disrupts the Jet steam. Without the Jet Steam pumping all that moist air from the the South Pacific, we're seeing what weather in the middle of a huge continent is like without it. I just hope it doesn't last 5+ years, but if history is any guide, it probably will.
All I know is all the old-timers in town going on about how it was just like the 1950s when we had our "summer in March" and them saying that there's going to be a bad drought. No doubt about them being right now.

Figured the EPA would have shut you down like they did the Canon & Campbel foundries. The oil smoke from the foundry sand mix and hot metal would fill the town of Muskegon Heights with some pretty bad stinky blue smoke back in the 50's. I remember it as the smell of money as I rode through it on my bike on my way to school.
I think you might be on to something there. Anything powerful enough to effect entire electrical grids could sure as heck effect weather.
Only problem now is trying to make it politically palatable. It's hard to get funding to study something that goes against the gods of global warming.

We got that first shower as we feverously tried to tarp two loads of freshly baled hay, five loads of bundled oats. Woke up this morning with almost 2 inchs in the 5 gallon bucket in the back yard. Still raining this morning... rrlund should be getting wet too, according to the radar.

I live near Spokane, WA and we have had weather recorded here since about 1885. Almost every year we set some new record low and record high temperature readings, as reported in the newspaper and on TV.
The last 2 years, we have had cold, wet Springs, bad enough so my gardens have had to be replanted and still are not doing well. When I was a kid 50 years ago, we usually had a number of days in the Summer when the temp went over 100 degrees. Now it gets that hot maybe 1 or 2 days, and some years it never gets up to 100 here.
Why? The jet stream that is usually North of here has been going South of here. Why is that? I have not read a good explanation.
I suspect that variations of the Sun"s output change our weather somewhat. Why is that? Again no good answer.
In the 70"s the media worried about "the coming ice age". Didn"t happen...and I doubt that there will be a huge change in the temperature of this planet. It"s just BS, with some people trying to get more CONTROL of others.
