I guess that "winter " is relative , even a drop on average of a few degrees would distort growth cycles etc
as you say , no one really knows for sure - so I guess there can be found theories to support the blackened skies argument and the three year snowfall...

You make me remember one meteorologist talking about this theme, when inquired about the real chance of a nuclear winter. Confronting the studies that related individual nuclear explosions with the quantities of material expelled to the atmosphere, he warned that, when talking about the environment, the final effect used to be greater than the sum of each part.
