Are we entering a new Grand Solar Minimum?

Technically it's a good thing, since it would partially counter the current global warming. However, it's not fully clear yet how it would have an impact on our planet, and it seems like its impact will probably be very small (compared to the greenhouse effect).

Well, this year we got more snow in Southern Ontario than last year, but I don't really know about the rest of North America.

Weren't there a few nasty blizzards in the United States around this past Christmas season?

That's annecdotal. Weather is unstable and often hard to predict. You need to look at global temperatures on the whole planet: 2017 was the second hottest year ever, just behind 2016.
