Today’s Weather Trivia:
5 November 1913: A recent cold snap with temperatures dipping to -11°C forced a Port Arthur, ON, physician, who was visiting a work camp, to walk 60 km around the shore of Lake Bateman. The return boat that was to transport him near the train could not break through ice that had frozen firmly in just 2 days. Walking the shoreline was the only way out. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The Moon is "new" at 11:52 p.m. CDT, marking its passage between Earth and Sun. Darkness cloaks the hemisphere that faces our way, so we can't see it. But the Moon will return to view as a thin crescent in the western sky on Sunday evening.
