Today's Weather Trivia:
2005: Constant high winds and record rains caused the lobster season between
Digby and Halifax, NS, to be extended by a week. Yarmouth and Halifax set
new May rainfall records of over 300 mm. In high winds, traps often bump
along the sea bottom. In turbulent waters, lobsters stay put in rock
crevices, munching on vegetation blown their way by gust-driven currents,
until the water clears.
