April 1 in Minnesota

Some Minnesota schools opened late today because of snowy roads. I took this picture this morning near my house:



The local paper predicts a high in the 30s today; it says the record high for this date was 82 degrees back in 1882--a clear indication that environmentally, things really went to hell soon after Ulysses S. Grant left office.

I'm a little fuzzy on the historical details, but maybe the infamous CO2 spike and mass extinction event of 1882 was just an inevitable result of Eli Whitney's invention of the Boeing 767 back in the 1870s...
