Today's weather trivia:
20 January 1952: A brutal cold spell gripped most of northwestern Canada. It
was -54°C in parts of Yukon. Dense ice fog forced airlines to cancel
flights. Taxis did a huge business; grocery delivery boys were the busiest
people in town. At such cold, there is a hissing sound caused by one's
breath freezing. Small patches of ice fog were seen hanging over sleeping
huskies.
