Today’s Weather Trivia:
6 January 2007: Ontario had soft ground, ice-free lakes and rivers, no snow, and leaves on trees. For the 1st time, a January thaw caused the Blue Mountain ski resorts in Collingwood to lay off 1,300 staff for over 3 weeks. Mice, bats, and rats were breeding, not sleeping, and the Toronto Zoo's African animals enjoyed the outdoors. Construction workers put in long hours in unseasonably mild, dry conditions. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Only a few of the stars of Camelopardalis, the giraffe, are visible to the unaided eye. With binoculars, though, you can pick out several pretty sights. One example is Kemble's Cascade, a string of about 20 stars along the giraffe's neck. The stars aren't related to each other, they just line up in the same direction in the sky.
