Today's Weather Trivia:
14 April 1911: Large winter snowfalls, a late and slow spring thaw, and
heavy, warm rainfall turned the Nolan and Junction creeks in Sudbury, ON,
into torrents. The water rose swiftly and residents retreated to the second
storey or vacated their home. Rescuers canoed through the Queen's Hotel
cellar, saving a great deal of material. One resident lost 50 cords of wood;
others swam their horses to safety. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather
Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
