Widespread light to moderate snow is seen across northern pockets with the North-Central belt seeing the more notable totals (near 10–12 cm in some spots). Winds remain breezy to windy in select areas, with gusts approaching 60–80 km/h in exposed zones, leading to reduced visibility at times. No freezing rain is observed, and southern lake regions stay mostly cloudy with minor accumulations. Expect slick untreated surfaces in northern corridors and gusty winds near some lakeshores. Parents should plan for a cautious morning: check school status, allow extra time for buses, and keep kids bundled for outdoor waits.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
