Cherry blossoms may have been blooming in Victoria, B.C. last week while the rest of Canada shivered through the polar vortex, but now gloating Vancouver Islanders are getting nipped by Jack Frost too.
On Jan. 29, Daniel Smith entitled 鈥淗ow to remove snow in Victoria.鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 getting hot in all these clothes,鈥� he says at one point, peeling off his winter gear. 鈥淛ust wanted to show everybody what it鈥檚 like to shovel snow in Victoria, B.C. in January.鈥�
With his lawnmower revving, Smith begins cutting green grass.
鈥淲hat snow? Come on,鈥� he laughs in the video. 鈥淪uckers!鈥�
snow squalls and 鈥渂elow seasonal鈥� sub-zero temperatures from 鈥淎rctic outflow winds鈥� in the Greater Victoria area from Sunday night through Monday.
鈥淎t first everybody鈥檚 laughing,鈥� Smith told CTV Vancouver Island of last week鈥檚 video. 鈥淣ow I鈥檓 getting hate mail and the blame.鈥�
Temperatures in the Victoria area are expected to range between -5 and 0 degrees Celsius Monday, feeling as cold as -12 with the wind chill. Roughly four centimetres of snow could be on the ground by Monday morning as well. So grab your shovel, Smith -- if you even have one.
Smith says last week鈥檚 YouTube video was meant to taunt family in Northern Ontario, particualry his brother-in-law Mike. Now Smith鈥檚 eating his words.
鈥淗ey Mike, you know, all this snow is because of you!鈥� he cried. 鈥淚 curse you for this!鈥�
