Winter weather travel advisory for southwestern Ontario ended

The first winter weather travel advisory for southwestern Ontario has ended.

London-Middlesex, Huron-Perth, and Sarnia-Lambton were all affected by the winter travel advisory, warning of lake-effect snow that could approach up to 15 cm.

According to the advisory, the stretch of Highway 402 between Watford and north of Strathroy and Highway 21 between Port Elgin and Kettle Point was most affected.

The lake effect stayed primarily west of London, with it tapering off in intensity later into the morning.

Environment Canada recommended motorists prepare for potentially hazardous driving conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly, and warned that snow squalls can cause weather conditions to rapidly change.
