Light to moderate snow bands are shaping up across parts of Ontario with Sturgeon Falls recording about 7 cm and nearby areas seeing similar totals. Expect lingering snowfall through the morning with roads turning slick in places as temperatures hover near or below freezing. Winds around 40–50 km/h will add to the travel challenging conditions, especially on rural and side streets. With 7–11 cm expected in several towns, school commutes may be delayed and bus runs could be impacted in affected districts. Prepare the kids for a slower start and allow extra time if you must head out.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
