Today’s Weather Trivia:
11 February 2006: About 2,500 grey seal pups washed out to sea on a huge storm surge and tide, about 6 m higher than normal, and drowned off Pictou Island in Northumberland Strait. Ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence was the least ever seen due to unusually warm weather, forcing females to give birth and nurse on the beach. The storm separated some pups from their mothers, and it was feared they would starve.--Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Today’s Weather Trivia:
10 February 2008: A series of storms dumped up to 2 m of snow in some areas of British Columbia's Interior. Avalanche warnings were issued and the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt was closed indefinitely; truckers had to take long (expensive) alternative routes. Poor visibility kept helicopter crews from triggering avalanches. Such prolonged closures due to avalanches had not been dealt with before. --Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Today’s Weather Trivia:
9 February 1952: After 20 cm of snow fell over a few days in Hamilton, ON, an inter-urban bus skidded on ice and careened down an almost vertical embankment into a 30-m-deep ravine. The accident injured 10 passengers, 2 severely, and at least 8 others, but no one was killed. The embankment was so steep that rescuers formed a human chain to pass the injured up to the highway, where 6 ambulances waited. --Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

8 February 1867: A drenching rainstorm combined with fast-melting snow raised stream levels to flood stage in southern New Brunswick. The strong flow pushed small buildings from their foundations and destroyed several bridges, including a suspension bridge at Norton, one of the "neatest" constructions in the county. Two days later temperatures plunged more than 40 degrees, encasing roads and rail lines in ice.--Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Todays' Weather Trivia:
7 February 1920: The hardest cold in 35 years created heavy ice along Newfoundland's northeast coast. The Prospero was ice jammed for 5 weeks, 10 km from Fogo, short of food and with no help from land due to bad weather. Nearby, 2 other steamers were stuck for 4 weeks, almost submerged by ice at times. Inland, blocked railways left settlements and lumber camps facing famine and horses suffering greatly.--Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Todays' Weather Trivia:
6 February 2006: An airbus from France flew to Iqaluit, NU, for "cold soaking"-when a plane is shut down for hours at very low temperatures and then started up. Iqaluit is famous for stress testing as it is cold and dry, with a long runway and no noise controls or curfew. It was unusually warm, though, with daytime highs of -15°C (normal is -24°). By month's end, it exceeded 5°C, the warmest spot in Canada.--Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Todays' Weather Trivia:
5 February 1899: In 1959, a veteran Yukoner was remembering a cold wave that gripped the Territory 60 years ago, when the mercury froze and all ravens went south. No one ventured out except in an emergency. Local prospectors spent their time indoors in warm cabins washing gold nuggets while baking bread with a "gleam in their eye thinking of the good times to come when they sluiced the dump in spring." --Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
