Victoria often has some of the mildest winter weather in Canada, but not this week.

Schools are shut down, roads are a mess, and a great many residents are waiting out this situation at home.

That's prompted a local sex business to step forward with a generous offer.

In an email to Mayor Lisa Helps, the vice president of YouPorn, Charlie Hughes, has offered free premium memberships "to help ride out the storm with and help set the mood for indoor activities".

It's in recognition of Victoria recently being named Canada's most romantic city.

"We also know there is a limited number of snowplows in the area and it has become a serious issue," Hughes added. "We'd love to help you purchase another for the Island, that way you can have this mess cleaned up as quickly as possible. Lisa Helps, we hope you accept our offer and let us help you!"

Things are so snowy in Victoria that even the garbage collection has been cancelled.
