Flurries and near freezing temperatures across Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island were a less-than-welcome reminder that spring isn't here yet.
Yesterday, a shot of cold air from the north caused temperatures to dip as low as 0 C and flurries to fall across the Island, although no snow accumulated on the ground.
It will stay cold for the next few days, said Environment Canada meteorologist John McIntyre.
Light flurries and rain will fall again today and the temperature could drop to -1 C.
Heavy winds also caused power outages, leaving thousands in Duncan, Metchosin and Sooke without power.
