A deadly tidal wave on the Bay of Fundy and a major gale in the Miramichi gave New Brunswick two mentions this month in the Environment Canada Weather Trivia Calendar.

They were part of six Atlantic Canadian weather events that were included for November this year in the annual calendar. The other four were split evenly between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

The calendar, compiled by David Phillips of Toronto, senior climatologist for Environment Canada, incorporates a mixture of weather records and historic storms along with quirky or unusual weather occurrences.

All the proceeds from the calendar's sales go back to Environment Canada to be used for education, training and other programs.

The first New Brunswick mention was for Nov. 14, 2003 when searchers found the body of a missing lobster fisherman in the frigid, choppy waters at Rogers Head on the Bay of Fundy.

His two companions made it ashore and were treated for severe hypothermia.

With wind gusts peaking at 40 kilometres (25 miles) an hour and three-metre (10-foot) seas, a wave had hit the vessel about 100 metres (330 feet) from shore and rolled it over. A surge then picked up the boat and smashed it against the rocks.

The second New Brunswick item involves a powerful gale that struck the Miramichi region. Several homes in Steam Mills were abandoned, fences were destroyed and a schooner, laden with brick, was swept onto a nearby road.

Bridges became impassable, haystacks changed ownership, wharves were destroyed and articles floated into woods and marshes. Several packets were driven ashore and parted asunder.

On Nov. 11, 2007, snow postponed the Canadian college men's soccer championships in Halifax. Despite the blizzard, the players were disappointed when he halted the game.

On Nov. 4, 2007, Tropical Storm Noel wreaked havoc in Newfoundland.

The other two Atlantic provinces' mentions last month on the calendar involved a series of severe storms in Cape Breton in November, 1842; and an unusually warm spell in late November, 2006 in Mundy Pond, Nfld.
