- Today’s Weather Trivia:
April 17,1835: During an intense snowstorm on Prince Edward Island, an elderly couple from Portage left their son-in-law's to return home, about 300 m away. Halfway there, the couple was completely bewildered by the violent storm and stopped to argue about the route to take. The wife sat down, covered with a rug, and was found uninjured the next morning. Her husband was found dead about 0.5 km away.

Corvus, the crow, is low in the southeast at nightfall and arcs across the southern sky during the night. Corvus's brightest stars form a small but distinct box. In mythology, the crow was a servant of the god Apollo.
