Cross-country skiing to snow angel making, these videos show just how much snow blanketed Toronto

One child attempted to make snow angels amid Toronto's winter storm, but the snowfall proved to be too deep.

More than 50 centimetres of snow walloped Toronto on Sunday, but that didn’t hold some Torontonians back from hitting the outdoors.

According to Environment Canada, about 56 centimetres of snow blanketed the city with areas surrounding Lake Ontario seeing the highest amount.

From busting out the cross-country skis to making a makeshift snowslide, here is how Torontonians made the most of the snowfall:

Instead of a brigade of motorcyclists, a trio of snowmobilers were spotted jetting down a residential street in Etobicoke on Sunday night, in the area of The Queensway and Royal York Road.

Snowmobiling was apparently top of mind for more Torontonians, as another was spotted driving along the Greenwood-Coxwell neighbourhood.

Dogs covered by snow as plow moves through As a snow plow cleared snow off one Toronto street, the aftermath of snow blanketed two small dogs out for a walk in the winter storm.

One husky appeared to be having the time of her life, hopping through mounds of snow that covered Allan Gardens on Sunday evening.

Stairs turned snow slide With the amount of snow that dumped on this Torontonian's backyard, the stairs temporarily turned into a makeshift snow slide.

The amount of snow that dumped on Toronto on Sunday was enough to turn this set of stairs into a makeshift snowslide in this Torontonian’s yard.

Over in the Danforth, one Torontonian captured a timelapse highlighting the snowfall throughout the day.

Too snowy for snow angels? One child attempted to make snow angels amid Toronto's winter storm, but the snowfall proved to be too deep.

Making a snow angel is usually easier when there is a lot of snow on the ground, but one child’s attempt demonstrated how Toronto’s winter storm tested those limits.
