Today's Weather Trivia:
26 April 1902: A loud peal of thunder preceded a rare hailstorm in Dawson,
YT. The hail fell thick enough to whiten sidewalks and the ground. Several
people were startled by the suddenness of the thunderstorm, which caused
electricity to go off and on several times during the storm. -Excerpt from
