Today’s Weather Trivia:
12 December 1955: One of the worst blizzards in living memory raced across Saskatchewan, closing schools and disrupting bus, train, and plane schedules. An RCMP officer suffocated in his snowed-in car near Cutknife. Farm children spent the night in schools or nearby homes. In Regina, 4 motorists drove over a steep embankment and a truck plunged into snow so deep only its box and spare wheel were visible. .– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
