Today’s Weather Trivia:
22 March 1849: At Ferguson's Cove, NS, a large mass of ice and snow, loosened by thaw and rain, gave way and rushed downwards upon a house, burying and wrenching it from its foundation. The heavy snow smothered an infant in a cradle and critically crushed an older child. Two other children who happened to be outside were forced by the driving mass of snow into the sea, but they made it back to shore. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment

The Moon reaches first quarter tomorrow at 6 a.m. CST. The Moon will line up at a right angle to Earth and the Sun, so sunlight illuminates half of the lunar hemisphere that faces our way.
