Parts of Michigan Shatter Record For Coldest July 18 - Ever!
I blame global warming! Here in the Detroit area, we just missed setting the all-time 123-year old record for coldest July 18 by 2 degrees F. Other areas set records. From the National Weather Service, here are some temperature records some of which were simply shattered, not just broken, for yesterday, July 18:

Incidentally, the sun is the quietest it has been for some time now. From Solar Science via Climate Depot: This Quiet Sun.
The Sun has gone back to blank after having had just one sunspot group that caused otherwise rational people to go off their heads…
As a comparison, here is the sun image from the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope at 304 ångstroms for today and near solar maximum in 2000 by way of comparison
Of course, that has nothing to do with it, and we have to ruin our own economy unilaterally with cap-and-trade legislation to cut CO2 emission that is producing the warmest summer ever recorded, which is somehow manifesting in the lowest temperatures ever recorded. Got that?
