Will there be a snow day?

  • An estimate from the public forecast. Your school district makes the call.

Why the sign says so

  • Snow

    How many inches are forecast, against what your area usually handles.

  • Timing

    Whether it falls overnight or stops early enough for plows to finish.

  • Ice

    Freezing rain, which closes schools at far smaller amounts than snow.

  • Cold

    The wind chill while children wait for the bus.

  • Wind

    Gusts strong enough to drift snow back over cleared roads.

  • Alerts

    Winter warnings and advisories from Environment Canada.

Set from your province when you check a postal code. Change it if you know your district better.

Will there be a snow day tomorrow in Sudbury?

The sign above answers for Sudbury from the current forecast: the chance of a closure, the chance of a late start, and the snow hour by hour through the night. It is for the center of town. Schools at the edge of a district, or at a different elevation, can see different weather, so enter your own postal code if you live further out.

How much snow closes school in Sudbury

The calculator starts Sudbury at the Ontario setting, "used to snow": about 15 cm of snow overnight, or a morning wind chill near -32°C, makes closing a coin flip. That is a starting point for the whole province, and it is our judgement, not a record of what Sudbury's schools have done. Change the setting under the sign if you know the district closes more or less readily.
