Today's Weather Trivia:

One journalist said that potholes were blistering forth like "a case of chicken pox in a day care." In the northern Manitoba, officials began closing winter roads This year some 2,000 shipments of fuel and general freight were trucked over the 2,200-km of winter roads. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
