Buses cancelled, schools closed

A blast of freezing rain has led to a day off for students in the London region.

Both the Thames Valley District School Board and the London District Catholic School Board have announced that they are closing all schools and administrative buildings for the day. The announcement came shortly after it was announced that all buses had been cancelled.

Western University and Fanshawe College are operating as usual, but officials are asking everyone to use extra caution getting to school.

A freezing rain warning issued by Environment Canada remains in effect.

Roads and sidewalks are slippery with black ice and freezing rain covering them.

Salters and sanders are out on the roads, but police are warning everyone to take their time.
