Wel it's a guess on the amount of snow we got. Weather reports from a few channels and radio said ~25cm. I'm north of the city so I am in the dividing line of heavy and moderate snow. If you're deep downtown then you won't get as much as I would. Then again if you're up in Barrie I think they got ~50cm/~19inches (over a foot).
The bike shop Proteus Bikes in College Park, MD, has a bike-powered snowblower and lawnmower on display. Totally awesome. I'm not sure if they actually get used, as the shop has no lawn and we don't get a whole lot of snow here.

By the way, Zero Enigma, I don't think you're actually north of the 49th parallel. That's only the US/Canada border west of the Great Lakes... Toronto is somewhere around the 43th parallel! Sorry to disappoint
