Same here in Victoria. The snow started the evening of 21st. We then had a decent dump of snow on the 23rd. Temperatures did climb above freezing (barely) on Christmas Eve and the forecast was to moderate after Christmas. I woke up Christmas morning and the forecast changed to much colder temps and chance of snow for the coming week. All hell broke loose the evening of the 26th through the 29th. Over 3 feet fell that period and everything shut down for days. It was awesome.
