Today’s Weather Trivia:
14 January 1907: Heavy snow and bone-chilling cold made life miserable in Edmonton, AB. The Edmonton Journal noted: "It's been a week of mufflers and fur coats, of icicle moustaches and frost-rimmed eyebrows, of frozen windows on Jasper Avenue and frozen water jugs in the shacks and tents." The intense cold turned water in a fire hose to slush. Some families burnt straw and furniture to stay warm. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
