Today's Weather Trivia:
19 April 2006: Gale-force winds and 35 mm of mixed rain and snow blasted the
Maritimes. Road crews scrambled to reinstall snowblades on their equipment.
A big rig, minus its roof, was found near Seal Island Bridge to Cape Breton
Island. A group of daredevil tractor-trailer drivers had crossed the bridge
side by side to get an empty trailer across in the high winds. In Prince
Edward Island, heavy surf delayed the start of lobster season. -Excerpt
