That sure explains the East Coast Blizzard of 1888...as well as the great Ice Age, when glaciers a mile thick in some spots came as far south as present day northern tier states...
We have always been told that the Great Lakes were formed when glaciers receded. Why did they recede? Global warming? I wonder how many eeevil SUVs and coal-fired power plants were around at the time.
