Victoria isnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t missing out on the Island-wide cold snap, not even at the Legislature.

The fountain at the front steps of the B.C. Legislature crystallized into a sputtering icicle display Monday morning, giving promise of a cold day.

On Monday morning the temperature in Victoria was -4.8 C, but felt more like -12 with windchill, with light flurries.

The cold isnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t set to stop anytime soon. Environment Canada forecasts a chance of more flurries for Monday night and Tuesday morning in Greater Victoria, with a high of 0 C and overnight temperatures -5 C. A chance of flurries are predicted until Friday.

While the cold isnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t pleasant, it can sure be picturesque.
