Today's weather trivia: 18 March 2001: Ottawa, ON¿s annual blasting of ice
on the Rideau River, dating back to 1878 to prevent ice jams, was halted
because there was no water in the river. The operation needs a fairly strong
flow of water to carry the broken ice away. A lot of snow that winter
insulated the ice. In the meantime, safety officials were concerned by the
number of dog-walkers and cross-country skiers on the ice.
