Winter Whollop 2011

Victoria BC is recieving up to 25 cms of snow today.
As we were gearing up for our flower count to tease the rest of Canada with, the snow started to fall.

It has shut down much of the city and even my garden Budha is taking a snow day. I love snow and am not complaining at all.

Barry's Response - Oh Victoria. Land of the Ice and snow. Just kidding. Actually by checking this interesting webpage by Environment Canada -

You will see that (out of all major cities in Canada), Victoria has the least snow and the mildest winter overall. It's also pleasant and sunny (more than the rest of BC) all year around.
