Today's Weather Trivia:
2004: The best thing about Manitoba's May weather was that it finally ended
when the month ended. Miserable rain forced the cancellation of outdoor
activities including the Teddy Bears' Picnic, racing at Assiniboia Downs,
and Blue Bombers' football practices. Patio businesses endured heavy
losses-at this time last year there had been at least 30 good patio days,
compared to 2 this year.
