Global Warming Hits Midwest; Kennedys Can See Tons Of Snow -- December 2, 2018

Updates

Later, 1:10 p.m. CT: a reader sent me this link regarding an historic park at Madelia, MN.

The Jesse James Theme Park is the first ever of its kind in the nation. It is hand crafted by Arnie Lillo with life size individual metal cut outs of the many 1870’s horses and characters, and tells the story of what happened to Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers gang in this area of Minnesota in Sept 1876. From riding into Northfield, to robbing the bank, to leaving town, killing of Charlie Pitts and the capture of the Younger brothers, the full story is told precisely as Minnesota history knows it to be. But uniquely illustrated in life size metal artwork.

The Jesse James Gang was credited with over 25 bank robberies during the years of 1866 and 1881. Although, it was hard for the gang to openly admit to being involved in any activity that might result in their legal detainment, history ha been able to piece together over $270,000 in robberies from Missouri to Minnesota, Alabama to West Virginia, Kentucky to Mississippi. From the passengers' point of view, you may not have returned with your possessions, but at least you had a story to tell that you were robbed by the best - the James - Younger Gang.

Original Post

 

From Minnesota, look at the snowfall. Sent to me by reader. Thank you. More to follow. Temperatures have been well below normal for this time of year -- off the norm by about 7 degrees. With global warming expected to warm the earth by about 3 degrees above the norm, it looks like Minnesota / North Dakota will average out just about right 82 years from now.

Back to the snowfall:

According to the reader, Madelia, MN, is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the state.

The reader noted that in his home town, 21 area churches are closed. It takes a lot of snow for Scandinavians to close church.
