Today’s Weather Trivia:

April 27,2007: A common Prairie weather superstition is that 6 months following a frost day comes a heavy rain. Widespread hoarfrost last November had grain growers near Porcupine, SK, worried that copious April rains would lead to flooded fields for a 3rd consecutive year. And, yet again, spring runoff led to washed-out roads and waterlogged farmland. Several farmers were unlikely to seed again. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
