School buses in many parts of midwestern Ontario will remain parked on Thursday.
Lake effect snow that began falling late Wednesday prompted Shared School Services Transportation to cancel all school buses in Bruce and Grey counties, while Huron Perth Student Transportation Services cancelled some routes in Huron and Perth counties. In Wellington County, all buses are running, but multiple routes had minor delays. The full list of bus cancellations and delays can be seen here.
A yellow level snow squall warning is in effect for midwestern Ontario, with Environment Canada forecasting an additional 5 to 10 centimetres for most areas and as much as 15 centimetres more for Bruce Peninsula. Strong winds, gusting up to 60 kilometres an hour are accompanying the squalls, which is significantly reducing visibility in spots.
Drivers are advised travel may be hazardous and to snow down and leave extra space between vehicles.
The snow squalls are expected to weaken late Thursday afternoon.
