Today’s Weather Trivia:
17 December 2007: A massive storm battered six eastern Canadian provinces affecting every major city from Windsor, ON, to St. John's, NL. Cornwall and Russell, ON, reported 50 cm of snow. White-out conditions and deep snows meant thousands of motor-vehicle accidents, stranded air passengers, and several deaths. Tragically, just outside Quebec City, a 7-year-old died when her snow fort collapsed on her. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
