Today's weather trivia: 15 March 2003: This winter saw a record number of
frozen water-pipe breaks in Saskatoon, SK-184 since January 1, more than
double the previous 7-year average of 82. Crews worked 12- to 16-hour
shifts, 7 days a week, to repair the breaks. Frost normally penetrates to
1.5 m, but this year, it penetrated as deep as 2.1 m and deeper in some
places.
