"Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October, 2018.
Zharkova models solar sunspot and magnetic activity.
Her models have run at a 93% accuracy and her findings suggest a Super Grand Solar Minimum could begin in 2020.
A Super Grand Solar Minimum would have four magnetic fields out of phase. There was about 40-60 years of cold weather 350 years ago.
This was a Maunder Minimum of lower solar activity.
...Zharkova believes the warming models are including the warming effect of increased solar activity.
If she is correct there would be cooling and the warming models would be wrong.

I concur
Although I've seen data that shows 50-400 year length. I believe your 40-60 years was how long it took to reach peak cold. In other words - It cooled 40-60 years before it started to warm again = 80-120 year cold snap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age
Local fruit farmers are worried about how little snow and how low the temps are. Many of the fruit trees are not native to Michigan, and depend on feet of snow to insulate the roots in times of single digit temps. This extended cold snap could devastate our Michigan fruit farmers. This is only the beginning!
