Today's Weather Trivia:
1923: After scrambling for 20 km over one of the roughest ice packs ever in
Sydney, NS, harbour, 12 passengers and 11 crew from a steamer finally
reached shore, making the last few hundred metres of the journey in dories
that had come out to meet them. The steamer had been stuck in heavy floes
for a month. Shortly after the party left the ship on foot, the icepack
started drifting away from shore.
