Today's Weather Trivia:
2005: A pilot flying a Cessna 172 from Calgary, AB, to Victoria, BC, landed
on a busy highway near Hope, BC. When the weather closed in, she descended
800 m, but was still trapped in heavy cloud. She cruised low over Highway 3,
waiting for an empty section between vehicles. On landing, the plane
incurred only minor damage to a wing tip from hitting a sapling as it was
steered off the highway.

The brilliant planet Venus stands just to the right of the crescent Moon as
dawn twilight paints the sky tomorrow. They are quite low in the sky, but
with a clear horizon you should be able to pick them out. Mars is to the
upper right of Venus, and binoculars will help you find it.
