A commentary on the summer they had?
I was adding the WeatherBug application to my Facebook profile a few minutes ago -- what? I grew up in Canada, I'm a weather freak, I will forever be obsessed by it even though I no longer have to deal with skin freeze warnings, flash freeze warnings, blizzards, ice storms, black ice, tornado watches, or humidity levels that could put a sauna to shame -- and I thought hey, let's check out the weather in my former hometowns of Ottawa and Thunder Bay.
When I got to the bottom of the Thunder Bay weather page on Environment Canada's website, I burst out laughing. Check out the circled minimum temperature recorded for "Yesterday" in the "Historical Data" table.

While I've heard the summer weather was sub-par there this year, somehow I think I would have heard about almost 73 degrees below zero. Unless, you know, all the phone lines froze and the power went out alongside the dawn of the short-lived new ice age. So is it a data input error or sarcastic weather commentary? Whatever the case, it made me giggle.
