Southern Ontario: ‘Snow Day’ Forecast for Tuesday, December 9, 2025
/There are unlikely to be any school bus cancellations on Tuesday across Southern Ontario.
The only regions with any notable chance are the Bruce Peninsula under the Bluewater District School Board and areas within the Rainbow District School Board, where Environment Canada has issued a snow squall watch. However, the expected timing of the heaviest squall activity appears to fall later in the day on Tuesday, making it uncertain whether it will have much influence on the morning bus run. As a result, we have assigned a 10 to 25 percent chance for these regions.
Elsewhere, an Alberta Clipper will bring periods of light snow into Southwestern Ontario beginning Tuesday morning. Accumulation is expected to be minor and well below the threshold at which school boards typically consider cancelling buses. Even so, we have assigned a 5 to 10 percent chance to account for the outside possibility that Environment Canada issues an advisory before the morning decisions are made.
For the rest of Southern Ontario, no impacts are expected. So for now, it looks like you should plan to do your homework.
Disclaimer: Instant Weather has zero authority when it comes to bus and school closures.
It is completely up to the school boards, bus companies, local authorities, and parents to decide what is best for their children. This is our best guess based on our forecast.
