Today’s Weather Trivia:
23 February 1996: Canadian meteorologists attending an American Meteorological Society meeting in Atlanta created a stir with their campaign, "If you have the instrument ... we've got the weather." They were trying to convince weather-instrument manufacturers that Canada has some of the world's worst weather and would be an excellent test site for their instruments, especially in Newfoundland. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
