Today’s Weather Trivia:
29 December 2004: About 30 cm of new snow, a weak snowpack, and rain created dangerous avalanche conditions in the Rockies. North of the Whitewater Ski (BC) area, fog and freezing rain prevented a rescue helicopter from gaining much height, delaying the rescue of 3 lost backcountry skiers. They dug a cave to wait out the fog; low cloud foiled their attempt to leave so they built a fire to keep warm. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
