Most of Ontario is seeing light to moderate snow with occasional gusts around 40–50 km/h. Regions like Sturgeon Falls, Elk Lake, and Longlac report 5–8 cm of snow with winds that may brush the exposed areas, but there are no signs of freezing rain or blizzard conditions this morning. Schools should generally run on time, though brief delays could occur for rural routes and morning commuters in higher‑wind pockets. Stay alert for slick spots on untreated roads and sidewalks during your pre‑dawn to sunrise commute.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
