They could be created by the reflective matter coming from man-made pollution, volcanic debris, and what not.

(32,324 posts)I have read several journal accounts of how it affected people in the New England area - and also Upstate New York. They were able to survive only if they had the ability to hunt for wild game. And if they had stored enough things like potatoes from the previous year's harvest.
And of course, no radio, TV or much print media - so many people didn't even know why their growing season that year was so strange.
