With snow squall warnings and watches covering most of southern Ontario, snowfall continued to batter the region tonight as the winds picked up and decimated visibility on roads.

“Snow squall warnings continue across the area – a snow squall locking in over the city of London. As you move through the late evening, that snow squall will wind down and move out of the city,” said CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison.

Although that means that the area around London and to the north will be off the hook for the time being, that does mean that some of our neighbours will be getting a piece of the action, “This squall will migrate it’s way toward Strathroy, Glencoe, Petrolia, overnight and then as we head through the early morning hours it will shift back.”

That being said, this system is running out of steam, and is set to break on Friday, “snow fall rates will be minimal with this as it weakens as we head into Friday morning,” assured Atchison.

Friday is set to be the light at the end of the tunnel, “Still the risk for flurries first thing in the morning, but breaking out of this weather pattern,” said Atchison.

If you still have snow on your laneway, now is a better time to get it out of your way, “As we head into the weekend temperatures are set to climb… with rain in the forecast on Monday,” warned Atchison.
