Today's Weather Trivia:
1914: Hailstones the size of pigeon eggs fell during a storm at Bittern
Lake, AB. The storm smashed windows, overturned 15 small structures, blew
off the roofs of 2 boxcars, and killed hundreds of chickens. Hail entered
through windows on the east side and broke windows on the opposite side.
Old-timers claimed they had never seen such a storm.
