Today’s Weather Trivia:
2 January 2005: Montreal, QC, area hospitals treated an unusually high number of injuries directly attributable to slippery city sidewalks and streets. In one emergency room, the flow of patients with broken arms, dislocated shoulders, and sprained ankles was 4 times the daily average. Near Québec City, 2 snowmobilers went through thin ice on Lac-St-Joseph. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The Quadrantid meteor shower should be at its best tomorrow night. The meteors can streak across any part of the sky, so you don't need to look in a particular direction to see them. The Moon is out of the way, so it could be a good show.
