Today's Weather Trivia:

May 27,2005: Constant high winds and record rains caused the lobster season between Digby and Halifax, NS, to be extended by a week. Yarmouth and Halifax set new May rainfall records of over 300 mm. In high winds, traps often bump along the sea bottom. In turbulent waters, lobsters stay put in rock crevices, munching on vegetation blown their way by gust-driven currents, until the water clears. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
