It’s no shock that February’s snowfall in Victoria broke local records, but you may be surprised to hear that we actually surpassed the amount snow received by other major cities across Canada.
According to The Weather Network meteorologist Chris Murphy, Victoria received a total of 68 cm of snow since February 1st – that’s 3 cm more than Sudbury ON, the recipient of the second largest amount of snowfall in the country this month.
To be sure, this doesn’t mean we’ve had the most snowfall this winter. In a tweet, Murphy clarifies that there is a much “deeper snow pack in other places because of existing snow prior to Feb. 1”.
However since the beginning of February, Victoria has been leading the pack when it comes to classic winter weather.
