Today’s Weather Trivia:
16 January 1913: A huge piece of ice fell and killed a mine worker in Sudbury, ON. He was near an open pit when the chunk of ice, hanging about 25 m above, dropped from the wall. The descending mass loosened by thawing weather struck and broke a bench, lifting the victim and killing him instantly. The fatality was the third attributable to a balmy thaw spell in a week. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
