A scary email from a reader in Germany
Hi Robert,
Here in southern Germany we experienced what seemed like a very short
wet and cool summer! The corn fields are looking pretty dismal and along
with a bad grain harvest it is likely not going to be a bumper crop this
season! Now we have chilly daytime temps in the 40's and already ground
frost and the first significant snowfall in the Alps since early August!
It was 45 today in Munich. Forecasters say it should remain quite cool
for at least the long range extended. Last year on this date it was a
balmy 68!! Looks like it will be a chilly start to Oktoberfest!!
For the first time in nearly 50 years mountain passes did not open at
all this year because the massive snow from winter and spring failed to
melt. Some reports say that some high Alpine villages were 'snowed in'
in most of this summer.
The sun continues to be devoid of sunspots. What used to be days, then
weeks without sunspots is now turning into months! So is it any wonder
that we are experiencing these conditions? Reports similar to mine are
now becoming all too common. Do you see any reason why I should not
start becoming really concerned?
Sincerely, Thomas
Hi Thomas,
I can't speak for "the establishment," but I am certainly
very concerned.

I think, this is F temperature?
Anyhow, living not far from Munich, we had 0°C this night.

Summer is so "warm" this moment that I had to switch on central heating
not to freeze onto my bureau chair.

Which means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING because records only go back to 1979!!
So how do you and your ilk work out that this is somehow
unprecedented????
I strongly suspect that ice cover was even less than this in the 1930's.
