You are driving to the cool temps, so no time to adjust. I live in the suckers, so get used to them. Going to Florida is always fun in the winter. You can spot the difference between native Floridians and northern invaders right away. The invaders are dressed in T-shirts, the sudden warm up feels very balmy.

I had my Carhartt coveralls on today Sig.

I'd kind of like to see a picture or two of your cabin in the Catskills!

Yes we normally import white snow birds and export them back bright red. ;-) Of course in UK we are used to these things. Billy Connolly said of growing up in Scotland: "I’m actually pale blue: it takes me a week of sunbathing to turn white."For quotes from Billy Connolly see: www.independent.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/billy-connolly-30-great-quotes-30277580.htmlI think that Ratty will appreciate the 'humour' (sic) in the URL above, it may be a little on the Trump side of acceptable for delicate sensibilities

AGW, sea level rise and all, he will need a place in the hills won't he? (Then, after you have made out well, you could travel the world, build another cabin and STILL have cash left over for eats.)

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology in its latest Monthly Sunspot Number report predicts the sunspot minimum for the Cycle24-Cycle25 transition will be reached next month (using the 13-month smoothing as the measure). If accurate, this means Cycle 24 would be only 10 years and three months long. www.sws.bom.gov.au/Solar/1/6

My cabin in the piney woods of northern Arizona was about half the size of your main floor ... no loft. Marta and I and Andrew were a "close" family. But my housing costs were minimal as I bought it in the 80s when I lived in Alaska.

"Researchers find evidence for a new fundamental constant of the Sun New research undertaken at Northumbria University, Newcastle shows that the sun's magnetic waves behave differently than currently believed.
Their findings have been reported in Nature Astronomy.
After examining data gathered over a 10-year period, the team from Northumbria's Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering found that magnetic waves in the sun's corona – its outermost layer of atmosphere – react to sound waves escaping from the inside of the sun." phys.org/news/2019-02-evidence-fundamental-constant-sun.html

" New Findings From German Scientists Show Changes in Precipitation Over Europe Linked To Solar Activity By P Gosselin on 15. February 2019
A significant number of scientists say that the Earth’s climate is in large part impacted by solar activity, and less so by trace gas CO2 concentration. German scientists present new findings showing a link between solar activity and precipitation in Europe. ================================================= How Changes on the Sun Influences Rain A balanced level of precipitation provides the basis for a wide range of economic and social activities in Europe. Particularly agriculture, drinking water supply and inland waterway transport are directly affected. However, the amount of rain fluctuates strongly from year to year. While it may pour torrentially in one year, rain may remain absent for weeks in other year. The population is used to this variability and usually knows how to deal with it. But what is behind the strong changes? A system, or pure atmospheric noise? The chance discovery by an agricultural scientist from Münster, Germany, now suggests that in certain months that rain over Germany and other parts of Europe follows a pattern that up to now has remained undetected. As part of agricultural consultation, Ludger Laurenz analyzed decades of rainfall records of the weather station in Münster and noticed a constant up and down that followed an 11-year rhythm – especially in February."notrickszone.com/2019/02/15/new-findings-from-german-scientists-show-changes-in-precipitation-over-europe-linked-to-solar-activity/
