Widespread snow is sweeping the region with accumulating falls in the 10–16 cm range across Ontario and nearby areas, with Sturgeon Falls seeing about 16 cm and several Ontario towns around 10–12 cm. Winds remain breezy (roughly 20–50 km/h in most spots) and temperatures are well below freezing, keeping road conditions slick through the morning. No freezing rain is reported, but the combination of fresh snow and gusty winds will slow commutes and may disrupt bus service in harder-hit pockets. Expect some delays or early dismissals in northern Ontario and nearby urban corridors; plan for a cautious start and extra time getting the kids ready.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
