Mauder Minimum and Rockport

The Daily Mail UK, yesterday published an article written about the frequency of Sunspots. They show a graph of sunspot frequency over the last several hundred years and it is very graphic in showing the 11 year cycle that impacts the amount of radiation, heat and temperature of the globe. No new news there but...They further describe wave motions within the sun that accentuate the sun spot depletion much further resulting in the Maunder Minimum a 40 year mini ice age that occurred 400 years ago. Using very straightforward frequency analysis they have predicted a recurrence of this ice age starting in 2020.
Winter Texans need to start planning for this ice age in getting long term RV park reservations. Walmart and Heb in Rockport need to start expansion for additional Handicap parking and Isle space to stand. I will predict in writing that do to the cold temperature our winter Texan Population will triple by 2020.

    We have a lot more CO2 in the atmosphere since the last one 400 years ago, so if it does occur that may neutralize it. Besides you will have to go further south into Mexico for warm weather.
  • Sure glad I have my reservations made for the next 5 years in the Hill Country. ;)
  • Yes, it was our first 4th. of July and man was it packed! Every RV site, cottage, hotel room were booked! The stores were super packed and traffic was unreal! The police, fire, and EMS could barely keep up with calls. We stayed in our RV park and relaxed by the pool and BQ grill!
  • Fourth of July weekend was very crowded. Took 45 minutes to go from Cove Harbor to Airport on Saturday.
  • Rockport is pretty full already and we hear most winter texan RV parks are full and/or filling up fast for the coming year! We should enjoy the next couple of months!
    :S
    Uh.....no, Rockport isn't "pretty full already......"

    Come on down neighbor!

    Plenty of room in Rockport/Fulton, Texas!

  • Yep, we were only 102 in Tucson yesterday. I had ice cubes form on my pool last night. Or it could have been one of my guests spilling their drink.
