Today's Weather Trivia:
1944: Frost damaged tomatoes and other tender early plants in the Ottawa
Valley. The cold was so severe-the worst in 54 years-that plant stalks
hardened and turned black. Early market garden crops were a total loss. Ice
1/4 inch thick formed in farm pails and wash basins. The ground temperature
at night touched -4°C.
