Victoria resident Craig Fraser had some fun with the weather conditions as well, posting a humorous video on Facebook where he described the “terrible conditions” in the city on Sunday.
“It’s been snowing here for 15, 20 minutes, I’d say probably upwards of a half a millimetre by now. It’s chaos,” Fraser joked in the spoof disaster video.
The end is nigh…
