 Today's weather trivia: 2 February 1951: Some 100,000 citizens of Montreal,
QC, were trapped when from 10 to 30 cm of snow fell in the city. Some
residents took 5 hours to get home, many walking. Police horses were
helpless in the chaos of skidding automobiles and stranded street cars, the
worst in 40 years. Police switchboards were flooded with calls, most asking,
"Where can I get a taxi?" or "Could you help me find my husband?"
