Today’s Weather Trivia:
26 November 1951: Montreal received more than 21 cm of snow causing 1,000 collisions and countless slips and falls. Bad weather was blamed for 26 deaths province-wide. Car owners lost patience and did not bother reporting accidents. More than 700 men worked feverishly spreading salt and cinders on surfaces. The tramway system was completely shut down; cab companies stopped accepting orders. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
