A high temperature of 63 degrees one day, 13 the next.  It happened just a few days ago in the part of the country where I live.  Another crippling ice storm made headlines for several days, this time in the Northeast.  Las Vegas just saw 3.6 inches of snow, a rarity there.  Parts of the Gulf South saw record snowfall recently as well.  A few weeks ago parts of the Dakotas saw snowfall measured in feet.  All of that happened before the calendar officially says it’s winter.

            Winter starts this weekend, and spring won’t come around for quite a while.  Several scientists say colder weather is directly related to the inactivity of the sun.  Solar cycle 24 is slow in developing.  Sunspots have been few and far between, and they haven’t amounted to much when they have appeared.  If the lull in sunspots and the recent weather is any indication, this is going to be a rough winter.  Perhaps the next several winters will be colder than what we’ve experienced in recent years, so we’d better be prepared.

            How well prepared are you for winter weather?  If you’re not prepared for winter weather, you certainly aren’t prepared for winter storms.  Don’t assume you know all there is to know about winter preparedness.  It’s when people are confident in their past experience that they make fatal mistakes, according to the author of the book Deep Survival.
