Today’s Weather Trivia:
11 November 1938: In southern Alberta, a howling wind whipped deep snows into huge drifts. Lethbridge received 25 cm of snow on level ground, with drifts on highways measuring more than 1 m. Street car service in the city was brought to a standstill. In preparation for heavier falls expected that winter, the province had purchased 2 rotary snowplows and 2 straight plows. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
