And who doesn't love a pristine layer of untouched snow?

The drop in temperatures and high winds have been brought on by an incoming Colorado Low, creating a mix of wind and precipitation, reports The Weather Network.

Whatever the cause, it has resulted in some pretty stunning shots of Ontario's first taste of winter. 

One resident got a shot of the snow falling in Mississauga this morning.
