“As you’re heading to work or even heading home, make sure you’re planning for expected delays,” said Const. Ed Sanchuk, the media relations and community safety officer with Norfolk County OPP.

Other tips include having your headlights on if visibility is low, a good set of winter tires, a full tank of gas in case you get stuck in traffic and plenty of windshield wiper fluid.

Sanchuk says folks should also clear their windows before heading out and make sure to slow down and move over, if possible, when approaching emergency vehicles parked on the side of the highway.

“Again, not to sound like a broken record, please reduce your speed because the collisions that we’re dealing with are all speed-related,” Sanchuk added.

Environment Canada says the snow should lift north of the London area on Thursday morning.
