There are some respectable reasons, related to oceanic oscillations in
the north Atlantic and Arctic, which operate on a decadal timescale, for
thinking that Europe and the USA are in for generally cooler winters for
a while. Calling it an ice age is a bit rich though.

What has been odd about the past winter has been the very small
day/night temperature differences. During the periods when it's been
cold by day, it's not been much colder by night.





There have been many many posts on this subject over the last 3 years and I
think Sir Patrick Moore got it right when he predicted this. He said it was
sun spots.(on the sun).
I wonder how many people remembered my post when I posted it. Not saying
that he is right, but it seems so.
