As you might’ve noticed, Victoria is currently blanketed in snow. And as per usual, people are having a hard time dealing with it. Icy roads, slippery sidewalks, and extra long commutes to work are all making this Thursday a lot more inconvenient than most.
And now, the City of Victoria itself appears to have unintentionally encapsulated our collective response to the weather with a hilarious tweet.
Due to snow, tonight's Emergency Preparedness Workshop at City Hall has been CANCELLED. We'll look into rescheduling. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. #yyj #yyjevents

That doesn’t bode well.
The Twitterverse picked up on the irony of the city’s tweet pretty fast, prompting hundreds of likes and retweets, and throwbacks to a certain Alanis Morissette song.
A few hours after the original announcement, the city poked fun at themselves with an Office Space meme.
Thanks for the laugh tonight #yyj. #victoriasnowday #westcoastwinter #stillCanadians pic.twitter.com/KAA9Lwb9LH

Victoria Police’s Twitter also appears to be having fun with the ice and snow, tweeting serious messages accompanied by hilarious gifs.

I guess snow in Victoria brings out the worst in our drivers, but the best in our meme game… Who would’ve thought?
