Today’s Weather Trivia:

9 March 1910: A watchman at the railway snow shed near Field, BC, was standing near his cabin when an avalanche pinned him against the wall, burying him for 8 hours. A rescue party failed to find him and two hours later, figuring he was dead, sent for a coffin. Just then, the man's dog began scratching in the snow some distance away: the workmen dug there and discovered the victim unconscious, but still alive. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
