Environment Canada has withdrawn any snowfall warnings it issued for the region on Wednesday, replacing them with a winter weather travel advisory for the region.
In line with the agency’s prediction, the snow will pause Thursday morning before starting up again around 12 p.m.
By Thursday evening, another 4 to 8 cm is expected.
This has led to the cancellation of all school bus and taxi services in the Tri-Board Student Transportation Services jurisdiction.
Although schools will remain open, students who are driven to school by their parents or guardians will have to be picked up at the end of the school day.
