Today’s Weather Trivia:

3 March 1925: At Port Nelson, MB, a railway official went out on the ice to visit some traps. Soon, the ice became detached, and the tide carried him out to sea. Leaving no trace, he was given up as lost. The temperature was -31°C, but there was little wind. The ice floe traveled 40 km to sea, but miraculously, the next day, the tide returned the ice floe ashore to almost the same place where it started. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
