Today’s Weather Trivia:

15 November 1929:1929: In Northern Saskatchewan, the fall was more than 4 degrees warmer than normal, too warm to ensure thick ice on winter roads travelled by heavily laden supply sleighs. A wagon with 40 fishers' gear broke through the ice on Canoe Lake. Holes were chopped every few metres ahead to check its thickness, less than 5 cm in places. The thin ice bent downward as the load passed along. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The Moon has an impressive companion tonight: the planet Jupiter, which is to the lower left of the Moon at nightfall. Jupiter looks like a brilliant cream-colored star, although it is far brighter than any of the true stars in the night sky.

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