At this point, you’ve hopefully managed to dig your way out of the house, or, maybe you’re still digging. Snow and lots of it remain from Monday’s blizzard which dumped up to 60 centimetres in parts of the province.
Some Ontarians embraced the unusual snowfall; using it as an opportunity to test their snowmobiles on city streets, tour the city on cross country skis, and even play an improvised game of curling.

Conditions were just right for cross-country skiing in many Ontario cities.
