Today's Weather Trivia:
1895: A large hailstorm with copious amounts of rain struck Ellisboro, SK.
The hail spared crops but killed a yearling steer, broke the backs of a few
pigs, and smashed windows. The largest stone found was 25 cm around, as big
as a baseball. One victim blamed the lightning for turning what was a full
head of hair bald.
