Today's Weather Trivia:
1943: Winnipeg children were to plant trees on this Arbor Day; instead, they
threw snowballs after an overnight dump of 3 cm. Temperatures hovered
around -4°C. Winnipeg's mayor was scheduled to plant a tree but the
proceedings were cancelled. The anti-mosquito committee chairman said that
many of the May-born mosquitoes would perish, but the survivors would emerge
later.

Regulus, the brightest star of the constellation Leo, the lion, stands to
the upper right of the Moon at nightfall. The star is 79 light-years from
Earth, so the light we see from Regulus tonight actually left the star in
1932.
