Today’s Weather Trivia:

10 March 2003: Passengers aboard the Marine Atlantic ferry endured weeks of delays and disruptions in service as ships navigated through the worst ice pack in the Cabot Strait in decades. Compounding the problems were high winds and sub-zero temperatures. Ice pans 45 cm thick rafted one on top of another into 2-m-thick slabs. Shipping companies had to pay out a small fortune in extra fuel.– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
