The winter of 1992-93 was shortly after a volcanic eruption. That may have been a contributing factor. I am not sure about the one back in the 1970s. In the 1970s it was so cold the harbors froze over. I remember some people, a whole lot crazier (more brave) than I, walk across the frozen New Haven, CT harbor on Long Island Sound. Yep, salt water!Weren't those winters cold due to volcanoc activity?
You have to plan for the worst!
