What is that? Snow?!


We have snow!!!

First, we were having heavy rain and now - snow! What is wrong with the weather? It's not usual for this time of the year to have a snowfall in our area. Anyway, kids enjoyed it and so did we. Schools and many other government institutions are closed. The road condition is terrible, you better stay home. People here doesn't know how to drive when it snowy. It's understandable, because the snow itself is a big event in Victoria (BC).
