The Year With No Summer

from Backyard History Hosted by Andrew MacLean

A grey mist hung over the land which the rain never cleared. Snow fell in June and July. Frost came in August. Crops didn’t grow. The spectre of starvation hung over the Maritimes. One year Summer never arrived in the Maritimes, earning that miserable year the nicknames; The Poverty Year; Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death, and The Year Without A Summer. https://backyardhistory.ca/f/the-year-without-a-summer
