Today’s Weather Trivia:
6 August 1902: Without warning, a violent thunderstorm broke over Dawson, YT. Hailstones the size of marbles fell with startling rapidity resembling a blinding snowstorm. The din of the hail falling on metallic-roofed buildings made it impossible to hear anything. Court proceedings halted for several minutes. Loud peals of thunder added to the cacophony. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
