Today's Weather Trivia:

June 16,1950: In Marshfield, Wisconsin, 2 Americans believing that most of last winter's harsh weather originated in Canada, decided to bill the Canadian Government for $136, half of their annual heating bill. North of Wisconsin across the eastern prairies and northern Ontario, winter 1949-50 still stands out as the coldest in more than 60 years. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
