Today’s Weather Trivia:

19 March 1951: A storm-stranded party of 42 was rescued from a stalled train after 60 hours in a blinding prairie blizzard near Oyen, AB. The engine was a sheet of ice and the 6-car train was completely buried, with snow to the roof line on the left side and to the windows on the right side. CNR employees hiked through 5-m-high drifts to bring fresh meat and bread.Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Spring arrives in the northern hemisphere tomorrow, at a moment known as the vernal equinox. This is the point at which the Sun crosses the equator heading from south to north. In many ancient societies, the equinox marked the beginning of a new year.
