Snow Day Predictor Canada blogStorm recaps, board policy, and Canadian winter explainers

Long-form editorial coverage of the Canadian school closure season — written by the team behind the predictor, with the same standards we apply to our regional thresholds and consensus engine.

In progress

The first posts land with the 2026–27 season

We are deliberately not republishing the old WordPress posts — they were generic snow-tips content, not the editorial focus we want for the new site. The new blog launches alongside the 2026–27 Canadian winter and will publish a storm recap inside 48 hours of every major school-closure event.

What you can expect

Four editorial pillars

Storm recaps

Post-event write-ups on major Canadian winter storms — what the forecast got right, what it missed, and how school boards reacted.

School board policy

How TDSB, CSSDM, Vancouver SD #39, and other Canadian school boards make the morning closure call, plus updates when boards change their criteria.

Weather explainers

Plain-language guides to lake-effect snow, freezing rain, polar vortex incursions, chinook winds, and other Canadian winter weather phenomena.

Methodology updates

When we change a province threshold, add a new regional profile, or tune the consensus engine, we explain the change here first.
