Since we have yet to see more than 2 cycle 24 spots and cycle 23 just produced 3 new spots including one with an M class flare, we are likely to be several months shy of the minimum yet. Until the cycle 23 coronal holes close up and the cycle 24 spots start to overtake the cycle 23 spots in number and size, we won't likely see the minimum.

Where the experts are found oracular we will be reminded. We need this documentation in the event they are not. And if they prove reasonably correct, I'm the Queen of France! Good post.
