• Today’s Weather Trivia:

29 March 2005: Saskatoon, SK, cabbies had the spayed tires, ruined struts, and damaged ball joints and wheel alignments to prove it was the worst year yet for potholes. Holes seemed wider, deeper, and rougher. Letting the last snowfall melt on already cleared main thoroughfares left a lot of water around to cause damage; it was made worse when nearly half of March had melting days and freezing nights.  – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
