By July, society had all but collapsed – with production chains drying up, panic buying hit hard and people starved. People died. Cults around both the sun and the snow sprung up and withered away, government powers all but disappeared, and finally, a year and a day after the first snow, a geomagnetic storm killed most electronics – cutting the power grid and stopping traffic where it stood.
