Today's Weather Trivia:
12 April 2005: Responding to a break-in in Port Colborne, ON, police saw a
man running from the crime scene. He fled to the Welland Canal and was
warned not to jump. The weather was dry, but at 5.7°C, and the water colder,
it was hardly warm enough for a swim. He jumped anyway and swam across the
canal, where he hung onto the edge until the fire department fished him out.
