Today’s Weather Trivia:
21 December 1938: On their way from The Pas, MB, to the New York World's Fair, 2 northern mushers and their 7 huskies arrived in Winnipeg. Lack of snow had forced them to put their heavily loaded sleigh on wheels, only to have it break down some 2 km away, in the Riding Mountain area. They then hitchhiked, loading everything onto a truck, into Winnipeg, where things were looking up-it had started to snow. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
