 Today's weather trivia: 6 February 1920: A snow- and rainstorm swept
Halifax, NS, and other parts of the Maritimes. Rain roared down hills and
enlarged miniature lakes. Rising waters flooded cellars, extinguished
furnaces, and interrupted tram service. Many a tired worker trod home on the
deplorable streets through slush that rose above the ankle, to spend the
night drying footwear. The heavy rain solved a water shortage.
