Rural school buses cancelled Thursday due to icy road conditions
Environment Canada issued a flash-freeze warning for the London area and southwestern Ontario Thursday morning, with temperatures forecast to fall rapidly a day after warmer temperatures melted a significant amount of snow. All school buses for Thames Valley and Catholic schools in Middlesex, Oxford, Elgin counties and the Red Zone have been cancelled for the day, while buses inside of London will start on schedule. "Ponding water, slush and any falling precipitation will freeze as temperatures drop," the weather agency said in a statement. "Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions." The roads are expected to quickly become icy and slippery as temperatures fall below the freezing mark. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots will become hazardous. A full list of bus cancellations can be found on which oversees school bus operations and cancellations for the Thames Valley District School Board and London District Catholic School Board.

Snow day! Schools closed, buses cancelled as snow blanket London region
All Catholic and public schools are closed on Thursday as the London area digs itself out from an overnight snowstorm. A low pressure system brought a total of 10 centimetres of snow to the London International Airport, said Environment Canada meteorologist Daniel Sheldon. Areas further east saw considerably more snow as ice pellets and freezing rain limited amounts in the London area. "Starting out this morning, remaining snow is very light and there might be a little freezing drizzle mixed in," said Sheldon. "There could be a little bit of local blowing snow and a little bit of flurry activity through tonight, but amounts don't look overly significant." All school with the London District Catholic School Board and Thames Valley District School Board in London and Elgin, Middlesex and Oxford counties are closed for the day. The Environment Canada forecast is calling for up to two more centimetres of snow for the day, with a risk of freezing drizzle in the morning. The temperature will fall from a high of minus two to minus six in the afternoon.
