Today’s Weather Trivia:
21 July 2006: Like an amplified nor'easter, remnants of tropical storm Beryl pounded Nova Scotia but didn't stop a single-person-boat sailing competition on St. Margaret's Bay. Racers enjoy winds and expect to get soaked. Some 3,100 cruise-ship passengers destined for Halifax ended up in Saint John, NB. One said she picked a northern cruise to avoid tropical storms, but the storm came to her. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
