Today's Weather Trivia:
North of Edmonton, AB, a 10-year-old girl went missing for 21 hours,
spending the night lost in cold, snowy weather. More than 100 people
searched for her, along with search dogs and an RCMP helicopter. When the
girl saw the chopper fly over, she put her coat on the ground. The coat's
colour stood out against the white snow and brown and green vegetation and
made her easy to spot.
