Today's weather trivia: 30 December


1910: A 3-day storm raged across southern and central Saskatchewan claiming
several victims. Many homesteaders lost their way and perished. Their bodies
were found a week later, frozen not far from the beaten trail. Three
children from Yellowgrass going to their grandparents were caught in the
blizzard. Searchers found the young boy dead, but his 2 sisters huddled next
to him survived.
