Overnight, during a winter storm marked by thunder, lightning and snow, between 20 and 30 centimetres accumulated across the city. Officials said that North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough received the largest volume.
With clean-up operations underway on Saturday, the city ordered cars to be removed from major snow routes by Monday, with community centres and libraries also closed.
