I think the proper expression these days is "jebwa de bushwa", loosely translated as "the drizzlin' sh-+s".
“The Nordic smart DNA emigrated between ~1840 and 1920”.

It is accepted by some that the Little Ice Age was correlated with a major decrease in sunspots.

Also, it has been suggested that with cold, Atlantic storms increased and fewer ships came to Greenland. Some probably died, others might have been kidnapped, and finally some probably went back east.
