- Today’s Weather Trivia:
April 6,2007: Eight Canadian Forces' Arctic Sovereignty patrol members ended their mission between Eureka and Alert, NU, a route perhaps never taken before. They had slogged 9 days by snowmobile at -50°C, with winds over 100 km/h; erecting a tent took up to 2 hrs and refuelling a snowmobile was an ordeal. Three teams travelled a combined 5,589 km over 17 days to assert Canadian sovereignty in the North. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment
