• Today’s Weather Trivia:

6 April 2007: Slushy frazil ice from Lake Winnipeg created one of the longest ice jams in Manitoba's history and one of the biggest ever seen on the Red River. Selkirk had major flooding, with water rising to homes' floorboards and over car hoods. At the Marine Museum, the water pushed 4 dry-docked ships off their foundations, and sewage poured into the exhibits; museum staff saved what they could.– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The planet Mercury stands quite close to Venus, the brilliant "evening star," early tonight. They pop into view low in the west not long after sunset. Mercury is just to the lower right of Venus and looks like a fairly bright star.
