Today’s Weather Trivia:

6 March 2005: The weather in Edmonton, AB, was rainy, warm, and humid, with temperatures reaching 12°C, not the best conditions for the icemakers at the 2005 Curling Brier. To combat the humidity, they turned on the air conditioning. On one sheet, the frost was so thick that players couldn't see the painted rings beneath the surface. Further, it snowed, and then rained, adding even more moisture to the air. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
