Widespread light snow showers continue overnight with pockets of accumulating snow mainly in northern Ontario from Sturgeon Falls to Smooth Rock Falls and Opasatika. Snow totals stay under 10 cm in most spots (roughly 1–8 cm in many areas), with Sturgeon Falls seeing around 7 cm and northern pockets around 5–6 cm. Winds will be breezy to gusty in spots (up to ~50 km/h in eastern Ontario), producing slick, treated roads and patchy visibility at times. No widespread ice or freezing rain is reported. For families, plan a cautious morning commute and check school status; most districts should run on time, but bus runs may be delayed in wind-prone northern corridors. Stay tuned for updates as conditions can tighten quickly in lake-effect zones.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
