On Saturday, Victoria was rocked by a freak storm that was totally out of character for this City and this time of year. We were stunned. The blossoms were in bloom, the leaves were out on the trees, daffodils were in full bloom, rhodos were out, spring was here, so we thought. The good news is that 24 hours later, there were very few signs of the storm left. Saturday morning everything was white, the sky was white, and it looked worse that most days during our mild winters. It has been sometime since I saw so much snow come down in such a short period. Good news is that it is gone and spring is back. We are back to feeling lucky that we live here.Information for travellers and tourists coming to Vancouver Island.

Freak Storm Hits Victoria
