It鈥檚 expected to warm up this weekend in the Okanagan with temperatures getting closer to returning to positive single digits, but the snow isn鈥檛 expected to let up just yet.
A warming adult drink is often called for after a long day of being out in the cold or shovelling driveways two to three times a day, but that was made difficult on this day in 1920.
Fun Fact of the day:
One hundred years ago, the U.S. established prohibition throughout the country with the Volstead Act.
It was the 18th Amendment to the Constitution which prohibited the production, sale and transport of 鈥渋ntoxicating liquors.鈥� Alcohol product sales from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean skyrocketed as a result of the U.S law as the smuggling of intoxicating beverages became a lucrative and illegal business.
in 1920 the Volstead Act enforced national prohibition against the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcohol. Learn more at .

The Volstead Act gave rise to bootleggers and gangs who fought for control of illegal liquor markets as the infamous Al Capone made his rise during prohibition.
Prohibition ended .
