A major snow event continues across eastern Newfoundland with widespread heavy snow totals of 20–28 cm and sustained winds near 70–76 km/h, driving Blizzard conditions in Goulds, St. John’s and Grand Falls-Windsor. Expect hazardous road conditions, reduced visibility, and strong gusts that will complicate the morning commute. Given snow totals above 15 cm in several spots and high winds, there is a HIGH probability of school closures or delays in affected communities, with buses likely canceled first in the most exposed areas. Northern regions and adjacent provinces also see ongoing snow, though impacts vary region by region.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
