Today’s Weather Trivia:
28 July 2006: In Canada's Arctic, Hudson and Baffin Bays had the lowest amounts of sea ice (about a 3rd less than normal) since record keeping began in 1971. The lack of ice in Baffin Bay and along the Labrador Coast had a huge impact on Newfoundland-Labrador tourism. Few icebergs survive the long open-water drift south without enough ice to protect them from eroding waves. St. John's saw none in 2006. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
