Today’s Weather Trivia:
8 October 1920: The Halifax (NS) Sailing Race Committee cancelled the great ocean race. As race time neared, the spectators gathered to watch it murmured that the Weather Man "had decidedly fallen down on his job." After promising "fresh westerly" breezes for race day, there was but a 3-knot northeast breeze and haze shrouded the harbour. To propel the big schooners required a breeze of at least 10 knots. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment
