Up to eight centimeters of snow blanketed homes in Campbell River on Tuesday -- part of some wild weather, more reminiscent of winter than spring.
The winter wallop forced road crews with Mainroad North Island Contracting to clear snow from some mid-island highways -- when they usually would be gearing up for the next season.
“It delays everything. We're having to retool our trucks and make sure they’re winter ready,” said Cowley Tuesday. Even on the south island, where buds are bursting from branches and flowers are blooming, there’s still plenty of toques on heads.
