   Yeh–I read about this one decades ago.
   One explanation was many clear nights in those winters.
   I can’t recall the source.

     The sun during summer and the clear sky during the winter.

   So what caused the great fluctuations of the mid 1930’s?

     The birth of Pope Francis or possibly Bob Denver?

       IOW you don’t know either? I’m just curious if anyone has looked back in the historical record and found the natural causes for that traumatic time in weather that did not only effect the US but was even recorded in Australia. Is there a conjunction of some weather or climate cycles that could explain it? It seems to me that event was recent enough there should be a great deal more real time data as opposed to proxy evidence to form a reasonable hypothesis for the cause(s).

         No I don’t. The records aren’t that good. Early 1930’s had a strong El Nino. The sun didn’t seem to be doing anything out of the ordinary back then. It looks like PDO was transitioning from a warm state in 1935. http://wx4cast.blogspot.com/2015/08/el-nino-pdo-and-amo.html

         I think the chaotic nature of weather and climate produces seemingly random occurrences.

   Using the period from 1971-1979 one could create an ice age scare without problems
   and using the period from 1979-1990 one could pretend that there is global warming.

   Strange somehow that the opinion makers somehow forgot to use the period 2000-2010 to make up a new global cooling scare.

   (and it seems that after a huge constant rise/decline there is always a huge correction for many yearytowards the other direction as soon as more than 2 years in a row follow that trend)
