Today’s Weather Trivia:

17 November2008: 2008: City crews in Moncton, NB, hurried to make new ice at the coliseum after an artificial mountain of snow melted prematurely when temperatures reached 18°C. The city had trucked in several tonnes of leftover shaved snow from arenas and piled it on top of a tarp to sculpt a snowboard hill for a competition. Large earthmovers and dump trucks later hauled it away.
