Today's weather trivia: 8 February 1921: After a 4-day blizzard,
Newfoundland started beating back its worst snow siege in 30 years.
Monumental drifts blocked roads and rails. The steamer Kyle, travelling from
St. John's via Port-aux-Basques to Louisburg, NS-usually a 2-day trip, took
9. A train from the Port-aux-Basques terminus ran into the blizzard and was
buried in a snowdrift for 7 days.
