Today’s Weather Trivia:
15 July 1905: London, ON, was suffering a severe ice shortage because the Board of Health had ordered icemen off their traditional icefields last winter. They moved 8 km away, but the ice there, while pure, had a bad odour. Just before winter ended, the icemen scurried back to the old site to cut what ice they could. It was not enough, and ice had to be brought in from Port Huron and Hamilton. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
