Locals measured the snow in Ontario amid power outage fears.

Footage shows a thick snow accumulation, with roads and neighbourhoods covered in fresh ice in Bradford on February 16.

The filmer said: 'Here's a nice flat layer of snow. Let's measure the snowfall. I measure in centimetres, not inches.

'We're in Canada, 17cm so far.'

The region is bracing for up to 25cm of snow and freezing rain, with Environment and Climate Change Canada issuing a winter storm watch through Sunday.

This follows a previous storm just days earlier that dumped 15cm of snow, causing disruptions across the region.

The storm has caused significant travel disruptions, including delays at Toronto Pearson Airport and weather-related closures across the Greater Toronto Area.

Officials have urged residents to prepare for hazardous travel conditions and limited visibility as crews work to clear the roads.
