Today’s Weather Trivia:
29 January 2008: The bodies of two sisters, one 3 and the other 1, were discovered yesterday in the Yellow Quill First Nation community (SK). Police searched for them after their father, found hypothermic and frostbitten, asked about them 8 hours later. It was -35°C with a -50 windchill when he set out with the girls, who were dressed in diapers and T-shirts. The father faces charges of criminal negligence causing death. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
