After a dumping of snow on Monday — though not nearly as much as other regions of Ontario saw — more is on the way for London on Tuesday.
Environment Canada issued a snow squall watch for London, Parkhill and eastern Middlesex County over the potential for snow squalls throughout the morning, but the watch was lifted by 10 a.m. and replaced with a winter weather travel advisory.
The travel advisory stated that an additional 5 to 10 cm of snowfall was expected by Tuesday afternoon. It was also lifted shortly after 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Meteorologists add that heavy or blowing snow could reduce visibility. Southwestern Ontario Student Transportation Services is reporting several bus route cancellations and delays on its website, though it’s unclear if inclement weather is entirely to blame or if driver shortages are playing a role.
The latest weather advisories came a day after London, Parkhill and eastern Middlesex County were under a snowfall warning which saw buses cancelled for the day in Elgin County, Oxford County and the Red Zone.
While London received roughly 18 cm of snow by the time the system tapered off midday Monday, the city escaped the intense snowfall that hit regions further east and north.
Much of Hamilton and the Niagara Region saw between 40 to 50 cm of snowfall on Monday, Ottawa set a new snowfall record for Jan. 17 and some school closures are extending into a second day in the Greater Toronto Area.
