Since I’m seeing news-reference again to the infamous Year without a Summer, I resurrect this piece from a couple years back.  200 years ago this month, a Ballston Spa, New York newspaper story stated that June 6, 1816 dawned cold and snowy.  In the “Year without a Summer” it was reported in Ballston Spa that 5 inches of snow fell in June, and 12 inches during June through August.
