April Showers Bring May Snow: In Minnesota

It's occurred to me that snow in May, a few days before Mother's Day, doesn't sound - well, all that plausible. It does to me, but then I grew up across the river from Fargo, North Dakota, and live here in central Minnesota.

The image is reduced to something like half its original size - so I put that inset in, to show the likelihood of snow tomorrow evening.
