"I rang for ice, but this is ridiculous." ~ John Jacob Astor, RMS Titanic
Gentle Readers and Loved Ones,
The xkcd website is one of my favorites. He is a polymath science and mathematics guy who has a new cartoon each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Here is the latest one.
The chart speaks for itself and I have nothing to add. I have to assume that the thickness of the glaciers over my home was roughly the equivalent of the Chicago area.
If you are interested, there is more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_history_of_Minnesota
On that note, I remain,
Dad/Geoff
