Today’s Weather Trivia:
9 September 1907: A telephone work crew laying a new phone line between Lethbridge and Calgary, AB, found 25 poles broken off 2 m from the ground, as though a hurricane had passed over the spot. That morning, only a light dusting of snow, with light winds, had occurred. Neither the snow nor the wind could account for this peculiar affair. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
