Snow Day Predictor Canada is a multi-model weather intelligence tool that estimates school closure and bus cancellation probabilities across Canadian regions. It combines Environment Canada data, the GEM forecast model, and a five-factor analysis system including snowfall, wind, freezing rain, extreme cold, and official weather warnings. The platform applies per-province school board behavior patterns to deliver localized, decision-ready snow day predictions for students, parents, and commuters.

We built Snow Day Predictor Canada because winter mornings in Canada often start with uncertainty — parents, students, and bus drivers constantly check multiple sources just to understand if schools might close. Existing weather apps show forecasts, but they don’t translate weather into real-world decisions like school closures or bus cancellations. This project started as a simple idea: what if we could model how Canadian school boards actually respond to winter weather? We combined multi-model forecasts (including Environment Canada’s GEM model), key winter weather signals, and regional school board behavior patterns to create a simple probability-based system. The goal isn’t to replace official announcements — it’s to help people make better decisions the night before a storm. We’re excited to share it with the community and would love your feedback 🙌

Finally tried this for the GTA and the per-school board logic feels surprisingly accurate, my kids' board flagged high risk when the other apps barely blinked.

@tugaytakmaz Thank you so much for the kind words! It makes my day to hear that our per-school board logic was helpful for you. We put a lot of work into ensuring that our algorithms mirror real-world decision-making instead of just broad weather reports. I’m so glad it was able to flag the risk for your kids' board when others didn't. Thanks for giving it a try!
