Today's Weather Trivia:
14 September 1917: 1917: In Quebec City, QC, a fierce gale and whitecaps on
the St. Lawrence River welcomed 100s of visitors arriving to witness the
raising of a new bridge span. High tide was ideal for transporting and
raising the structure, but a calm river was needed to transfer the span from
the pontoons it was built upon to the site. Operations were postponed for a
day, despite the loss of some tidal advantage.
