Parkhill, Komoka, Strathroy and Eastern and Western Middlesex County are also under the advisory.
Snow is expected to continue Thursday night through to early Friday morning. Most the of the snow will fall Thursday night, officials said.
Environment Canada is warning of major impacts on the commute Thursday evening and Friday morning.
Poor winter driving conditions are expected and untreated roads may become snow covered and slippery. Motorists should plan for extra time to reach their destination, officials said.
Manager of transportation and roadside operations with the city, John Parsons, said the city takes a layered approach to snow removal.
“We follow the provincial standards. Main roads get treated first, lower accumulations before we’re out plowing. When you get to the local streets, we’re looking at 10 cm of snow, yes, 10 cm of snow, before we’re into our back streets and plowing.”
