Snow remains heavy across the region with totals generally around 18–28 cm, accompanied by gusts up to 78 km/h in spots. Blustery conditions will drive slick roads and reduced visibility, especially in higher elevations and along exposed routes. This setup is likely to trigger school delays or bus cancellations in many districts, so plan for a slower morning and extra time to get the kids ready. Expect ongoing snowfall through the morning as systems move through the Great Lakes corridor.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
