Today’s Weather Trivia:
14 March 1920: A major blizzard crippled railway traffic and telegraph and telephone services in the West. Trains ran up to 15 hours behind schedule or were cancelled. Telegraph poles were carried away in Saskatchewan, but the worst damage occurred between Elie and Willow Range, MB, where only 3 poles were left standing in a 12-km stretch. More than 1 metre of wet snow collected in places. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
