A fierce winter storm has dumped heavy snow across southern Ontario, where strong winds, thunder and lightning were also reported.

Environment Canada meteorologist Haizhen Sun says between 22 and 30 centimetres of snow fell on the Greater Toronto Area as of 6 a.m. today, prompting the city of Toronto to declare a “major snowstorm condition” that bars residents from parking on designated routes for the next three days.
