Yesterday Toronto found itself getting battered by whiteout snow squalls. Blizzard-like conditions quickly overtook the city making for one messy commute home with almost no visibility on some streets. While getting home might have been a diaster for some it sure made for some astonishing photos to look at.

If you didn't make it outside yesterday evening, here's what you missed.
