Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for the London area as forecasters are calling for snow throughout the day Tuesday.
The national weather agency says 5 to 10 cm of snow is possible over the course of the day.
The system has potential to make travel difficult, especially during the morning and evening commutes.
“We are asking everyone to reduce their speed,” said OPP Constable Ed Sanchuk, in a video posted on the police service’s Twitter feed.
“Just slow down, don’t tailgate, leave enough room and distance incase you do need to break, because you won’t be able to stop on a dime in this weather.”
Sanchuk is asking drivers to make sure their vehicle lights are turned on so they are more visible to other drivers.
The advisory is in effect for London, Parkhill, Strathroy, Komoka, and parts of Middlesex County.
A similar advisory is in effect for much of southwestern Ontario.
