Today’s Weather Trivia:
10 March 2005: Residents of New Brunswick were cleaning up after yesterday's huge winter storm. Winds gusting to more than 140 km/h knocked down power lines, tore the roofs from buildings in Saint John, and blew trucks over. Fredericton got snow and heavy rain (25 mm); Edmundston was rocked by 60 cm of snow. One resident noticed his barn was missing; the next day it was found several metres down the street. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
