Today’s Weather Trivia:
21 January 1906: In the midst of a wild 2-day winter storm raging from Swift Current, SK, to Kenora, ON, a farm labourer near Portage la Prairie, MB, started out for home. He never reached his destination. The next morning his team was discovered near the city, one of the horses so badly cut that it was presumed they had wandered all night against barbwire fencing. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
