FOG
There is/was a folk tale about, Fog in January means.......... My father would say this. Does anyone know the rest of the saying...
thank you Marie
Fog in January
“Fog in January brings a wet spring.”
Snow this year
I live in MN I was expecting snow at least this time of the year but there's not even any snow on the ground and it just feels like cold autumn.
The Earth
The Earth is much, much more powerful that people think. If you packed all the 7.5 billion people in one space, you would just fill up a city the size of Los Angeles and we have no influence of the climate whatsoever. We are so vulnerable to the forces at work, and is a gamma flare, a good sized asteroid or super volcano would happen, well, it would wipeout the entire human race like it was nothing. So, quit with the big egotism, the Earth is going to do what it wants, period. We are not in control people!
Wow, your predictions are way
Wow, your predictions are way off for October

Something Has Changed, But It’s Not The Sun
While it’s true our sun is giving less energy to our planet, the planet’s surface temperature has been soaring since 1960. Check out the NASA BLOG February 13, 2020, 14:02 PST
There Is No Impending 'Mini Ice Age'
As for brutally cold winters and insufferably hot summers with too much rain... that’s just how it’s been in the Midwest for several years now. These days I’m surprised when the crops do well!
SE Michigan
Ask a farmer about getting equipment into fields during planting AND harvest seasons since 2011.
Weather
To make any long range plans based on long range weather forecast is an exercise in futility if you live in MI. The furthest you can look out with any hope of accuracy (barely) is a week or two. For the daily forecast look out the window to confirm.
@KB Second that Solar Minimum!
This solar cycle is indeed influencing the weather. Our ionosphere is contracted & much colder than normal. Crops aren't growing as well since the sun isn't as strong. The crops aren't able to balance the air as optimally as normal. The sun isn't blowing away the cosmic radiation since we are in solar minimum therefore we are in an "Earth Microwave" getting cooked.
Weather
If you live in Michigan you know no one can predict the weather. Best thing to do is look out the window and dress for what you see. If you don’t like that MOVE somewhere else!
