Today's Weather Trivia:
1834: The weather was unseasonably cold across eastern Canada. The ice on
many ponds was "thick as a penny-piece." The frost was strong, and streets
were white with snow. Swallows and other small birds perished in great
numbers. In a New Brunswick paper, it said: "one might imagine, that we had
all, like so many Rip Van Winkles, slept the whole summer, and awaked in the
month of November."
