Snow brings beauty, frustration, power outages and fun.

Photos of yesterday’s snow storm as the region gears up for another hit

Snow wreaked havoc across the West Shore Tuesday, causing tens of thousands of south Island residents to go without power for much of the day.

Schools in the Sooke School District were closed and emergency crews worked around the clock to repair the damage. Roads were closed across the West Shore with areas such as Skirt Mountain in Langford and Triangle Mountain in Colwood hit especially hard.

But weather didn’t dampen the spirits of some residents who took advantage of a snow day to enjoy some winter activities at Colwood’s city hall.
