Today’s Weather Trivia:
27 February1876: A north/northeast gale provided a stunning view of Niagara Falls (ON). Huge rocks below the American Falls, often submerged, were dry and exposed; between Goat Island and Prospect Park, the river, usually flowing at over 30 km/h, was still; the stream just above Table Rock was a dry, solid bed of rock; and Horseshoe Falls had lost 2/3rds of its water and looked like an ordinary millpond. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
