Today's Weather Trivia:
22 April 2007: Fishing Lake (SK) rose to record high levels (with 30-40 cm
to come). Some residents built wave breakers and filled sandbags; others
packed up and left. Winds tossed ice slabs onto lakefronts and beaches,
crushing piers, downing trees, and shoving sheds and boats inland. Hammered
by ice and 1-m waves, dykes broke, flooding homes and cabins. Early seeded
crops rotted under submerged fields. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian
