A broad snow event is underway across western regions with the heaviest totals around Calgary (≈23 cm) and southern Saskatchewan spots near Moose Jaw and Weyburn range 11–13 cm. Winds generally 40–55 km/h add to slick roads, but no freezing rain signals to Ontario or Great Lakes regions today. Expect lingering snowy roads this morning in the west, with potential school delays or closures in Calgary and nearby districts where totals exceed 15 cm. In the east, including Ontario, conditions look mostly ordinary with no widespread metro disruption expected. Keep kids dressed for cold, allow extra commute time, and monitor local school announcements for any western-area closures or bus delays as the day progresses.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
