A slow-moving winter storm is expected to continue to bring significant snowfall to parts of Southwestern and Central Ontario through Tuesday. With the threat of rapidly accumulating snowfall combined with gusty winds, we believe there is a very good chance of bus cancellations on Tuesday in some areas. The highest probability is in regions where Environment Canada has issued winter storm or snowfall warning southwest of Lake Huron and around Georgian Bay. These locations include Strathroy, Collingwood, Owen Sound and Meaford with bus cancellations almost certain on Tuesday.

Other areas around Georgian Bay and Lake Huron could see some bus cancellations with the probability ranging from 50-75%. Outside of the snowbelts, the chance of a snow day is fairly low due to the lower snow totals expected with rain mixing in near the Lake Ontario shoreline. Eastern Ontario has a near-zero chance of a snow day with rain continuing into Tuesday evening so it’s hard to see any reason for bus cancellations on Tuesday morning.

If there are any cancellations tomorrow morning, you can be sure we’ll be up bright and early beginning at 6 AM with our bus cancellations live blog to keep you updated.

Disclaimer: Instant Weather has zero authority when it comes to bus and school closures. It is completely up to the school boards, bus companies, and local authorities as well as being up to parents to decide what is best for their children. This is simply our best guess based on our forecast. Also note that due to the current pandemic, some school boards have changed their policies on school bus cancellations. Some will continue the school day in a virtual format should there be school bus cancellations - check with your local board for more details.
