Today’s Weather Trivia:
9 December 2005: Canada's 1st winter general election in 25 years had some meteorological moments. On the Prairies, -40 wind chills halted door-to-door canvassing and "permafrost" foiled the posting of lawn signs. In central Canada, candidates faced poor driving conditions and election signs buried in snow. Bad weather at Windsor, ON, diverted NDP leader Jack Layton's campaign plane to Ottawa for 11 hours. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The Moon passes through Capricornus, the sea-goat, tonight. The constellation's brightest stars form a wide triangle, like the bottom of a bikini bathing suit. Capricornus' second-brightest star, Dabih, is a little to the right of the Moon.
