Today’s Weather Trivia:
18 January 2007: Rescuers discovered the bodies of 2 skiers from Kamloops, BC, in a snow cave that experts said collapsed on the pair as they huddled near the Wapta Icefields, north of Lake Louise, AB. A 4-member team of mountaineers and an avalanche dog quickly found their bodies under about 1.5 m of snow, but poor weather prevented body recovery for several days. . -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
