 Today's weather trivia: 31 January 1931: In Vancouver, BC, the provincial
soccer final happened in thickening fog, making it impossible to follow the
play. Occasionally, a few fans clapped when they could see ghostlike
figures. The referee gave a late penalty that was neatly converted and then
called the game, with 20 minutes to go. Yet, it wasn't any foggier than when
the game began. Two minutes after the game was called, the fog lifted.
