Today’s Weather Trivia:

29 November 1894:1894: Citizens of Montreal, QC, debated whether to hold a winter ice carnival this year. The festivities attracted numerous visitors, but some felt that the marketing did Canada more harm than good, as it cemented the notion of it as a land of perpetual ice and snow. Said a critic of winter carnivals: our aim should be to show Canada at its best possible advantage at every opportunity.– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
