These photos capture Ontario’s stunning winter snowstorm
People in Toronto and other parts of southern Ontario are struggling to trudge their way through heaps of snow as a blizzard forcibly swept its way through parts of the province.
The blizzard, which is expected to bring with it up to 60 centimetres of snow, left cars buried in mounds of white as snow plows and ambulances rushed to provide emergency support.
Despite the chaos, some people took out their skiis and snow shoes to enjoy the mountains of snow falling, while plenty of animals had their own fun in the fluff.
CTV News Toronto has compiled a gallery of photos taken by reporters on the scene, our readers, and people on social media who captured the snow globe-like world around them. Send your photos to torontotips@bellmedia.ca.
