1843 - an especially cold year in the United States. 15 military outposts reported record minimum temperatures, like Fort Snelling, Fort Leavenworth, Jefferson Barracks, Fort Gibson, Fort Jesup, Fort Brooke, Fort Moultrie, Fort Monroe, Fort McHenry, Fort Columbus, Alleghany Arsenal, Watervliet Arsenal, West Point, Fort Constantine, and Benicia.
The weather is possibly a result of volcanic eruptions in Mt Etna, and an eruption on Mt St Helens
