Sunspot Activity NIL, Earth Weather calmest in 10 Years

Our weather is according to NOAA Storm Prediction Center, about the lowest that we have had in 10 years.  Even Matt Drudge made a point of pointing this out.  This is interesting after the claims of "some" that we would have a horrific Spring Weather due to global warming... ahem.  


I would like to point out that we are on our ninth day without sunspots, and that our sun is running cooler than normal with very little extra activity.  There is a gentle solar wind causing some upper latitude auroras.  But they are the gentle, wispy type.  Take a look at http://www.spaceweather.com for some beautiful pictures of what it is doing at the pole.  


There is becoming more and more of an obvious connection to strong solar activity with global warming, and quiet solar activity leading to global cooling.  I think that there is probably a connection to coronal holes and their streams to certain tectonic events as well with the excitation of the Earth's core through the magnetic field.  I think that it does not take a lot to see that there are connections to the solar activity and interactions with the Earth and its magnetic field system to both weather and tectonic events.


But for now, its quieter than normal.  So, enjoy a Spring with fewer hailstorms and tornadoes this year, and be thankful for it because this too shall pass eventually.  Take the family out on a picnic if you can and take some time to enjoy nature.  Take time to live, and try to forget the worries and stresses.  Enjoy the season while you can and be thankful.
