1709 the Great Freeze, now we have a Category 3 Ice Hurricane that rolled over Iceland with the fastest winds and most snow ever recorded in the nation. 150 mph winds with seven feet of snow. USA snow into Alabama and SE where below freezing has happened for the second time his season, very rare indeed. This is what was described before the Great Freeze of 1709 where wine bottles froze next to roaring fires and town bells cracked from -5F to North Africa.
Is the Great Freeze Returning to Our Planet?
This video was originally published 12/12/2019
I really appreciate Ryan Maue putting out blast from the 2019 past chart, the tongue of this Arctic plunge all the way to the Northern Florida, Panhandle.
Looking back, 1709 is the year that Europe froze. I have been digging into older writings from monasteries, traders from that time and to penned accounts from the scribes of the kings looking for extreme temperature accounts. These are recorded on heavy parchment, not on computer screens, so it survived for centuries.
The question is, how did this jive with this incredible category III ice hurricane that just swept over Iceland? If you notice, some of the similarities are very stark, so this could be a distant early warning that we are coming back into a mega-freeze era in North America.
The NewScientist published as article entitled, “1709: The year that Europe froze.” This winter of 1709 is called the Great Frost; and even in France, they called this Le Grand Hiver, which means the great shake, the shiver, the freeze. A three-month long unbelievable cold event leading to crop failures, which was followed by food riots later in the same year.
This was so historical at that time that anybody recording the event remembered it as the coldest winter in the last 500 years, at that time in Europe back to 1200 A.D, when the Yuan Dynasty in China collapsed.
In this 1709 event, they talked about the cold that froze Scandinavia, all the way to Italy and everything in between. Everything turned into ice back then, including seas, lakes, and rivers. Even soil froze up to a depth of (one meter / 3 feet) or more.
Livestock were also frozen solid. This is so far beyond any anomaly, that it needs to have a category of its own. The lithographs at that time, called WHITEOUT, gave an indication of how some of the landscapes looked. I mean, there has always been ice during winter in Europe, but this was so extreme which was why it had made into this painting.
King Louis XIV wrote that the cold was so fierce that the wine bottles next to roaring fires, froze. He recounted that he had fur around his neck and a bearskin sack on his feet, but he was still shivering so badly that he could barely hold his pen. A winter such as this one has never been seen since.
Another account talks about how church bells broke when rung. This is because metal cast bells cracked when rung due to extreme cold that made them brittle. Even tree trunks were shattered into splinters because of the cold.
Apparently, a crackling sound from trees being shattered and brought down by extreme cold could be heard. And for that to happen, temperatures had to be below zero degrees Fahrenheit. The thing is, that was far south in Europe, so this had to be something special, The Great Frost in literature.
Some of the temperatures, according to records, did go down to 5°F below zero, and interestingly, these temperatures are being mimicked today. This hit the French peasants with poor harvests, huge taxes and conscription.
Consequently, runaway taxes for fuel and everything else in daily life sparked the French Revolution, just like today we see the Yellow Vest Movement. Aside from tax demands, poor harvests and terrible protein content for wheat this year, vineyards and vegetable harvests are down due to cyclone after cyclone that has been ripping across the coasts in France. 2019 was described as a dismal agriculture in France.
Pulling from a couple of PDFs while doing research, one is about Germany’s temperature record over the last 1,000 years. Sure enough, it matches up with the cold that was registered back in 1709.
Looking at the ECHO-G Erick2 Europe model, bottom line shows how deeply it dropped in the 1500s as well as in the 1700s, 1500s being cooler. But I am still wondering as to what happened during that time because we do not have many accounts regarding that year of epic cold events. Suppressed history perhaps?
The further we go back in history, although we had great empires and kingdoms and all the societies across the planet that were at their apex, we still have so few records or accounts of what went on back then.
We only have a smidgen, maybe one-fifth of one-eighth of one-thousandth of a percent. On top of that, these records are controlled by historians with just a very narrow segment of the academia. Maybe these academic institutions could easily control, change or disappear history.
Continuing onto the 11-year smoothed average temperature highs and lows, an incredible drop was seen around the 1790’s. It does seem to roll through the same time period for about 10 years.
Moving on, the National Geographic article about 1709 much more in depth than what the NewScientist published. N.G included the consequence of food shortages in their discussions, where they had explained that the freezing of the ground to a great depth killed the plants to their roots. This meant that everything that grew back then was reset to zero. Nothing survived, from the vines, trees, roots, tubers, etc.
Additionally, because it was so cold, their attempt to plant the following year was not effective, resulting in a very late planting season, which led to food shortages. Back in 1709 food price spikes reached six-fold. Imagine, if our food prices spiked six-fold today, how would that ripple through the economy?
A doubling of prices is bad enough, but add in a six-fold price increase means that people will, literally, be starving in the streets, and no help will be coming for them.
The question is, how close are we to this supply chain break down? Remember, the accounts in England during the Maunder Minimum stated that King Louis XIV also attempted to register all the grains, and this is being seen now with blockchain technology and Real I.D 2020 with inspectors to double check everything.
Peasants of the day were reduced to eating soup made from ferns, just like the vegan movement.
These peasants who had been reduced to eat fern soup formed gangs, and eventually raided bakeries and ambushed grain convoys. During the Maunder Minimum, every grain shipment was accompanied by the British military across England and working on the grain shipments was considered the most dangerous post, because most of the time they were attacked.
When you look at lithographs of that time, grain storage houses were terrible. I mean how many rats and mice could get in there, as well as mold & fungus? Storage conditions in 1710 compared to what we have today, including international shipping is not even comparable.
I dug into a different report with tree rings in extremes, and sure enough, precipitation anomalies and cold spoken about in the 1700’s can be observed. Extreme rain and cold seasons are not good for vegetation; and this happened in April, May, and June.
During the 2019 and 2020 planting seasons, there was too much rain. So, how many parallels should we draw before we finally accept that something magnificent not been seen in centuries, might occur again as a repeating cycle?
We might as well be at the very edge of that black bar in 400 A.D, if not at the middle; because we have been mimicking several eras from the past.
This is an example of once in a 500-year event, so, how prepared are you for emergencies and events like this?
Thanks for reading, I hope you got something out of the article. If you like more content like this, I produce the tri-weekly Mini Ice Age Conversations podcast of a 30-minute in-depth analysis on the GSM you can take on-the-go through out your day.
