Today's Weather Trivia:
2005: Heavy rainfall on the May long weekend caused rivers and lakes along
Nova Scotia's south shore to flood. In Lunenburg, NS, swamped homes, closed
bridges, and washed-away roads led to a state of emergency and numerous
evacuations. The wettest May on record delayed crop planting 2 to 3 weeks.
At Halifax, NS, only one day was above 18°C and over half the days had less
than 1 hour of sun.
