Today's Weather Trivia:

May 11,2004: A wicked Colorado storm dumped mounds of wet snow from Calgary, AB, to Kenora, ON. Farmers welcomed the moisture, but for weary city folk, it was like winter all over again. Snowplows were brought out of storage to clear blocked city streets. The long line-ups of deserted cars and trucks on the Trans-Canada Highway for about 2 days cost the Canadian transportation sector millions of dollars. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
