Share

From cars buried in snow to ambulances scrambling through barely visible streets, images capture the extent of the snowfall across Toronto and parts of Ontario.

Gusty winds and snow have prompted Environment Canada to issue a blizzard warning for the Greater Toronto Area on Monday.

Some parts of Ontario, such as Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Kingston, Ottawa and Peterborough, are expected to receive between 25 centimetres and half a metre of snow. Peak snowfall rates potentially will be between two to five centimetres per hour.

Photos show people attempting to free their cars under mounds of snow, snow blowers trying to clear out streets, porches completely covered, and commuters testing their luck on bikes.

Here are some photographs showing the extent of the snowstorm in Toronto and other parts of the province.
