Today's Weather Trivia:
1936: When the ice dam on the Yukon River broke, a wall of water inundated
buildings and felled several telegraph lines. At Coffee Creek, only rooftops
were visible in what was said to be the worst flood ever. On hearing the ice
move, a man rescued his wife who was confined to bed. He tied his boat close
to his house, climbed on the roof, dropped a rope with a noose through the
skylight, and hoisted his wife to safety.

Pollux, one of the "twins" of Gemini, is half-way up the western sky at
nightfall, to the left of the other twin, Castor. Pollux is the brighter of
the two, and shines with an orange color. The color means its surface is
much cooler than the Sun's.
