Today’s Weather Trivia:
7 February 2009: A huge ice floe 13 km long broke away from Lake Erie's shoreline, trapping more than 130 ice fishers. Rescuers lowered baskets onto the ice from helicopters. Others boarded airboats that glided across the ice. The ice cracked as temperatures rose and winds up to 60 km/h moved the ice. What really hurt was leaving behind fishing tackle, coolers, snowmobiles, and all terrain vehicles. .-Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The crescent Moon and the planet Jupiter stage a nice encounter in the western sky this evening. Jupiter is below the Moon, and looks like a brilliant star. If you look carefully, you might notice a little color in Jupiter -- a hint of cream or ivory.
