Today’s Weather Trivia:
12 July 2005: You know it's hot when thieves start stealing ice. In Renfrew, ON, about 100 bags of ice disappeared from a large outdoor cooler at a highway restaurant. With temperatures of 33°C, the police knew the evidence was long gone, melted away in the blistering July heat. Instead, they would keep an eye out for any large quantity of plastic ice bags. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
