Today’s Weather Trivia:

12 November 2007:2007: About 8:30 AM, the bank beneath a Campbell River, BC, hotel's parking lot slid into the Pacific Ocean, taking with it a woman's SUV. Her husband only had time to grab some fishing gear and a life preserver from it. For an hour, the family watched helplessly as huge waves tossed and mangled their vehicle. Then, incredibly, the ocean spit the crumpled machine onto the beach. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The planet Saturn is well up in the east-southeast at first light. It looks like a bright golden star. Unlike the true stars, though, it doesn't twinkle. It forms a small disk in the sky, so it shines more steadily than the stars.

AURORA (‘Northern Lights’) WATCH: Auroral activity will be low.
