Waterloo region residents have been left digging out again after the largest snow of the winter hit southern Ontario.
Environment Canada says over 25 centimetres of snow fell in the region Friday evening into Saturday.
Blowing winds and lightning created treacherous travel conditions that prompted a winter storm warning from the agency.
By Saturday morning, vehicles and driveways were covered in the white stuff.
"We were worried that we might get snowed in, that we might not be able to open the door," said resident Humaira Shoaib. "I've been in Canada five years and in those five years I have not seen this level of snow."
Ben Gerber lives next door to Shoaib and puts his snow blower to good use.
"I was thinking it was going to be a big job and here we are, it was a pretty crazy snow storm," said Gerber. "It's a lot easier with the snow blower, so it feels like the right thing to do, especially when you see people struggling with the shovel and heavy snow."
