Cold summer of 1816: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:26, 19 October 2012

The year of 1816 was one of the coldest ever known in New England. It was referred to as the "poverty year" as many crops were affected. In Salem on June 8th, there was a slight fall of snow, but it was not deep enough to go sleighing.
In the "Annals of Salem" by Felt, he writes that in 1816 there was frost and ice until June 10th and there was only three warm days in the whole month.
Scientist would later conclude that the cold weather that summer was the result of a large volcanic eruption of Mt. Tambora in the Dutch West Indies.
