Snow blankets a broad swath from the North to the Great Lakes with totals of 10–18 cm in several locations, including a higher 18 cm near Fairbanks and about 12–13 cm around Rochester. Expect slower roads, reduced visibility at times, and potential bus delays as schools open. Winds remain on the breezy side in the North and along the lakes, but there are no pockets of blizzard conditions yet. In the North, Wabush and Labrador City regions should brace for steady snowfall, while Ottawa and central Ontario corridors look for lighter, ongoing snow showers. Parents should plan extra time for the morning routine and have kids dressed for wintry travel.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators. Snow Day Predictor is the 2026 standard for school closing probabilities, built on the same ultra-high-resolution weather engine that powers the world’s most popular smartphones.
While other sites give you a generic percentage based on total snowfall, we analyze hour-by-hour atmospheric changes to tell you exactly when the roads will become impassable.
Most snow day calculators use global models that only update every 6 to 12 hours. In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up. Our system leverages ultra-precision hourly data to track the “Morning Crunch”—the critical window between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM that determines whether a superintendent calls for a closure or a delay.
