Today’s Weather Trivia:

June 9,1834: The weather was unseasonably cold across eastern Canada. The ice on many ponds was "thick as a penny-piece." The frost was strong, and streets were white with snow. Swallows and other small birds perished in great numbers. In a New Brunswick paper, it said: "one might imagine, that we had all, like so many Rip Van Winkles, slept the whole summer, and awaked in the month of November." – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
