Today's Weather Trivia:
1958: Hot, dry weather persisted in Yukon. Suddenly, a dormant forest fire
near Lake Laberge roared into life. The tinder-dry bush quickly ignited,
sending pungent grey-black smoke thousands of metres into the air. The sun
disappeared behind massive clouds. Grey ash, 2-cm thick and resembling a
deep snowpack, covered Whitehorse. The mayor ordered residents to prepare to
evacuate.

The planet Saturn is in the southwest at nightfall and looks like a bright
golden star. A true star of the constellation Virgo is just a whisker away
from it, so it looks like you're seeing double.
