Today's weather trivia: 1 December


2008: Sudbury, ON, residents awoke to 10 cm of snow. The next day, a
disabled person got stuck for 2 hours in his electric wheelchair in a
sidewalk snowbank. A pedestrian reluctantly pushed him onto a busy, 6-lane
roadway. Motorists honked and rolled down windows to curse him. The City
responded that when sidewalks are impassable, disabled residents should use
Handi-Transit.

it difficult moving from dock to dock. On land, temperatures dipped below

2009: Unseasonably warm, dry weather enabled producers around Saskatchewan

with combining, drying grain, baling straw, hauling bales, cleaning corrals,
and rounding up cattle.

comrades. By mid-morning, the sun softened the ice enough for the imprisoned
birds to get free.
