This 28th edition of The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar is brimming with factoids, trivia, and surprising weather stories. Canada's weather guru, David Phillips, knows the power of a good storm story and the history of weather lore in Canada.

The unique feature of The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar is that for every day of the year there is an interesting piece of weather trivia that occurred on that date somewhere in Canada. David has scoured the nation for the best and worst weather moments for a year's worth of trivia.

Did you know that . . .

• A lightning strike can start up battery operated toys?
• That moose, wolves, and polar bears are not susceptible to frost-bite, even when walking on snow or ice at -70°C?
• That there were 173 hurricane-strength storms in Canada in the twentieth century?
• On New Year's eve, 2013, the Manitoba Museum tweeted it was colder in Winnipeg than on the surface of Mars!

From black blizzards to snow-spouts, white-washers to mauzy days, Canada's curious weather awaits you inside the covers of the 2016 edition of star climatologist David Phillips's award-winning Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar.

It should come as no surprise that The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar is Canada's best-selling calendar. After all, Canadians curse, praise, meditate and carry on about the weather as much or more than any other nationality on the planet. The calendar is always a favourite at home, the office, and in the classroom-kids love it too! Who wouldn't want to know what a vapour explosion effect is, after all?
