It will all likely melt within a few days, but the London area is in for more snow Wednesday.
Environment Canada has a snow squall watch in effect for London, eastern Middlesex County, and Oxford County. The watch was temporarily upgraded to a snow squall warning overnight for London and Middlesex County, but has since been downgraded.
Snow squalls moved across the region late Tuesday night, with more squalls from Lake Huron expected to redevelop Wednesday morning.
"Some of the snow squalls may give snowfall accumulations in excess of 15 centimetres by Wednesday evening, especially north of London and closer to Lake Huron," the national weather agency said in a statement. "Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow."
And while the falling snow may require people in the London area to do some shovelling, the snow isn't likely to stick around for very long. Environment Canada said Thursday will see temperatures get above freezing and Friday's forecast is calling for rain and a high of 7 C.
