Today's Weather Trivia:
29 March 1938: One of the worst spring snowstorms in southern Alberta in recent memory featured strong winds that turned swirling snow into blizzard-like conditions. The storm disrupted train service and halted buses. Trains were often 12 hours late, and only arrived if preceded by a snowplough. Some passengers were storm-stayed overnight, stuck in snowdrifts between cutbanks. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
