The decision to cancel the buses outside of the city for the day came as a Texas low began to move into the region. Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for most of southwestern Ontario including London-Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin. The national weather agency expected up to 15 cm to fall by Thursday morning, however, the heaviest snow will taper off to flurries overnight.

The London District Catholic and Thames Valley District school boards have confirmed all schools will be open on Wednesday, despite buses being cancelled in many areas.
