- Today’s Weather Trivia:
April 20,1897: A gang of wood labourers were asleep in a tent 12 km from Rossland, BC, when they were overwhelmed by an avalanche. One survivor had been awakened by what he thought was a derailed train car. He went to investigate and almost immediately a mass of snow, rocks, dirt and trees came down, completely covering his tent. Miraculously, his tent mates survived, although 7 men in the camp died.

The Lyrid meteor shower is at its best the next couple of nights. The Moon will be out of the way for part of the night, providing dark skies for the few meteors that streak by.
