Quiet improvement for the morning: most regions report light to moderate snow with little to no freezing rain. Sturgeon Falls can expect about 7 cm with winds around 45 km/h, Hearst ~3–4 cm, Kapuskasing ~2–3 cm, and Valdez, AK also seeing ~10 cm but outside our local forecast area. No region hits the 15 cm threshold, and there’s no ice risk noted. Expect gusty winds (40–60 km/h) in northern Ontario to produce some blowing snow and slower commutes, especially in exposed areas. Schools should generally run on time; however, a few northern routes may experience minor delays due to drifting and local conditions. Monitor local alerts for any quick changes before buses roll.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
