The Younger Dryas turns out to have been nothing more than an exceptionally bad Fimbul Winter ~ mile high glaciers of course, and all that sort of thing ~ took only 10 years to work up to peak nasty conditions.

Although we usually imagine a Fimbul Winter to be something like an extra long Spring, or maybe even late Winter, they can be quite milder but just as devastating.

Pray for heat.
