Today’s Weather Trivia:
9 March 2007: Snow and high wind led to chain-reaction crashes of cars, trucks, vans, motorcoaches, and school buses on Highway 400 from Toronto to Barrie, ON. Near Newmarket, the driver of a car "submarined" under a semi-trailer was trapped for 4 hours in a -37°C wind chill until a crane lifted the semi and he was cut from the wreckage. Despite frostbite, bruises, and a broken ankle, he survived. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
