Todays' Weather Trivia:
6 February 2006: An airbus from France flew to Iqaluit, NU, for "cold soaking"-when a plane is shut down for hours at very low temperatures and then started up. Iqaluit is famous for stress testing as it is cold and dry, with a long runway and no noise controls or curfew. It was unusually warm, though, with daytime highs of -15°C (normal is -24°). By month's end, it exceeded 5°C, the warmest spot in Canada.--Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
