With winter plunging the Forest City into a deep freeze this week, Londoners will find a brief reprieve from the bitter cold soon.

No watches or warnings remain in effect for Middlesex-London or Huron-Perth. Grey-Bruce is still under a snow squall warning.

CTV News London Meteorologist Julie Atchison said a warm-up won’t be quick, ”The extreme cold warning has ended, but wind chills as you head out the door Thursday will still feel close to minus 15.”

Atchison also explained that an area of light snowfall into Thursday morning is likely.

“[There’s a] possibility of about 2-4 cm [of snow],” she said. “The winds will continue out of the southwest through Thursday, and will be light and variable in the afternoon.”

The daytime high on Thursday should reach about minus 5 degrees.

Multiple collisions were reported across the region Thursday, including a crash at Quaker Road and Talbot Line where a car and a school bus with 28 students on board, collided.
