Today’s Weather Trivia:

10 November 2005:2005: Foul, wet, and windy weather caused opening day of the Canadian inter-university men's soccer championship in Charlottetown, PE, to be postponed. The rain was manageable, but not the wind, which clipped along at 70 km/h. The ball wouldn't stay still, 130-kg dugouts overturned, and a goal net twice blew against a fence some 13 m away. Wind-driven rain stung like ice pellets. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
