Today’s Weather Trivia:
1 November 1861: Three days of rain and furious winds led to several casualties on sailing vessels on Lake Ontario. In Hamilton, ON, gushing sewers flooded streets and clogged them with rubbish. Large trees and building materials floated in the bay; flooded basements were common in flat, undrained districts. No pitch of roof or thickness of wall could prevent the penetration of rainwater. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

November evenings are good times to watch the Milky Way. It arches from east to west with a dip toward the northern horizon. You need a dark sky to see it -- a night with little or no Moon, like tonight, and a viewing location far from city lights
AURORA (‘Northern Lights’) WATCH: Auroral activity will be quiet.
