26 December 2005: A wet and wild Boxing Day storm, with heavy snow, freezing rain, and strong winds, left 1,000s of New Brunswick shoppers without power. In the north, St. Leonard got 70 cm of snow and Bathurst and Edmundston more than 60 cm. At the Moncton airport, 400 travellers were stranded. Boxing Day shoppers said that having to trudge through waist-deep snow did not deter them from bargain hunting. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
