Today’s Weather Trivia:
23 December 2004: A major pre-Christmas storm roared through the Lower Great Lakes. In Ottawa, 9 cm of snow fell, followed by 20 mm of rain and freezing rain, and a flash freeze. Cars surfed through water up to their hub caps. Travellers from Windsor to Timmins became stranded, delaying family reunions and celebrations across the nation. Metro Toronto Zoo, usually open except on Christmas, closed to the public. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
