  • Today’s Weather Trivia:

2 April 2005: A young Gander, NL, couple got married on an ice floe in Island Harbour, NL, on a nice spring day in coastal Labrador, with ample sunshine, light winds, and -2°C. Snowmobiles subbed for the limo and church pews; garden torches wrapped in red ribbon formed the aisle. The bride's dress hid her long johns and winter boots, but for practical reasons she ditched the train of her veil.

Four of the five planets that are visible to the unaided eye are in sight at the same time early this evening. Venus, the "evening star," is low in the west at sunset, with fainter Mercury to its lower right. Orange Mars stands high in the south, with golden Saturn climbing skyward in the east.
