Widespread snow continues with several Ontario regions seeing higher totals. Sturgeon Falls has around 16 cm, triggering a higher risk of school delays or bus cancellations, while nearby Fordwich sits near 9 cm with winds in the 40s. Most other regions show 7–9 cm with lighter impacts, though winds near 50 km/h in some Atlantic areas will yield gusty and potentially slick conditions. Freezing rain is not evident in this dataset, but the overall pattern favors slower commutes and cautious morning travel. Parents should plan for a potential start delay and have kids ready early, staying tuned for updated bus runs and school announcements.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
