Widespread snow blankets much of eastern Canada with several Ontario and Atlantic regions nearing advisory thresholds. Snow totals are generally in the 8–16 cm range overnight, with Sturgeon Falls at 16.2 cm and several Nova Scotia towns in the 11–12 cm band; expect continuing light to moderate snowfall through the morning with brisk winds. In areas like Sable River and Jeddore Oyster Ponds, wind gusts around 60–61 km/h will produce blowing snow, and in some spots Blizzard conditions could develop where heavier snow bands persist. Freezing rain is not indicated, but the combination of slick pavement and visibility reductions will affect the morning commute. Schools may experience delays or closures in higher-snow, higher-wind locales; plan for extra travel time and kid-morning prep.
Stop relying on outdated “magic number” calculators.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 In a fast-moving winter storm, that data is obsolete before you even wake up.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.
