A snow squall watch is in effect for London, Parkhill and eastern Middlesex County today – with a large weather system dumping several feet of snow across the northern half of the region over the weekend.

Late this afternoon or early this evening, Environment Canada is projecting a snow event that will dump more than 30cm of snow by Tuesday morning. Highest amounts of snow are projected to remain north of Highways 401 and 402.

Snowfall amounts will vary greatly from region to region, however drivers should prepare for rapidly changing travel conditions.

North of the Forest City, from Huron and Perth all the way to Bruce County, a snow squall warning is in effect.
