Today's Weather Trivia:
2003: At the Forks in Winnipeg, MB, it rained during the 10th Anniversary of
the Great Manitoba Dog Party. Dog owners had to wring out their pets. The
cold drizzle wetted both man and beast; however, the downpour didn't put a
damper on the dog's party. The previous year it had snowed.

The modest Eta Aquarid meteor shower is at its best tomorrow night. The Moon

atmosphere from the constellation Aquarius, although they can streak across
any region of the sky.
