While many people stay indoors Friday as a winter blast hammers Southern Ontario, some Lady Gaga fans are weathering driving wind and accumulating snow while queuing for her concert in Toronto Friday night.

Dozens of parka-clad Lady Gaga fans are outdoors  in line next to the Air Canada Centre in downtown Toronto  waiting to be first ones admitted for the concert's general admission seating.

The Grammy-winning American pop star is performing two back-to-back concerts in Toronto as part of her current tour, The Born This Way Ball.

"Please note that this show is still on despite the recent snowstorm," according to a statement posted on the Air Canada Centre website.

Early bird fans are taking cover in tents erected under a highway overpass next to the venue, with some diehards reportedly having camped out for several days.

Most of southern Ontario remained under a snowfall warning on Friday morning, with the weather causing widespread school closures, flight cancellations and poor visibility for drivers. Roads in and around Toronto are covered in snow, with slippery conditions across the city. Toronto is expected to receive 20 cm or more of snow by Friday night.

Gaga moves onto Montreal on Monday and returns to Ontario for a concert in Hamilton on Feb. 17.

In this case for sure, they really should be enforcing the 8am rule. Its ridiculous to camp out for a concert in a snowstorm.

I'm actually thankful that the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul didn't let us camp. I can't believe these people have been camping for weeks :fail:

I know it must be amazing to meet Gaga and I would probably die if I was the one to get the monster pit key...but this all sounds a little excessive :wtf: Ooh well! each to their own... I think i'm just jealous that I didn't get to meet Gagz :fat:

I don't think it's been weeks though. Maybe a week, but that's what the majority of other people have done. And you guys act like they didn't prepare for snow. I'm pretty sure they prepared for it just in case.

It's been a week and what's the big deal?

I remember hearing that Jamie's been camping for 2 weeks.

Those are some dedicated fans. :roll: Hope Gaga can make it there. Sucks to be them if they camp out and she can't even get through. :confuse:
