A special weather statement remains in place for London and Middlesex, with strong winds and scattered flurries in the forecast throughout the afternoon.

With cold temperatures and possible snow slated for the remainder of the week, it’s starting to feel like Old Man Winter is having a hard time letting go of the controls.

“We should expect to see another 10 days of snow and cold weather,” said Global News Chief Meteorologist, Anthony Farnell.

“In fact, we can expect to see some accumulating snow start to pick up again tomorrow night, and even well into early next week,” he said.

He adds we shouldn’t expect to see double-digit temperatures for at least another week and a half more.

“We’ll more than likely see below-normal temperatures, even in the beginning of May,” Farnell said.

High winds and poor weather conditions damaged power lines in South London Wednesday morning.

So with all this cold weather, will the winter ever come to an end?

“Even though it’s pretty bleak out right now, hang in there, the warm weather is coming,” he said.

“Even though our spring will be cooler than usual, you can expect to see a very warm summer.”
