Snow Day (Bus Cancellation) Outlook for Friday, November 18, 2022

Dangerous winter weather conditions are expected east of Georgian Bay and parts of the Niagara and Kingston regions with intense snow squalls overnight into Friday. This will almost certainly lead to school bus cancellations for the Parry Sound and Muskoka regions on Friday. In addition to this, there is a fairly good chance of a snow day in the Niagara and Kingston regions along with Grey-Bruce counties which could also see lake-effect snow overnight with particularly heavy accumulation. With a strongly worded snow squall warning from Environment Canada combined with the forecast calling for up to 15-30cm of snow by Friday afternoon, it’s guaranteed to cause bus cancellations with school closures not completely off the tables either.

The potential for a snow day will be fairly isolated with the probability quickly decreasing away from the traditional snowbelts. There is uncertainty for the Lake Huron shoreline and into Simcoe County where strongly worded alerts are in effect, but might not be hardest hit. As such, it is questionable if the conditions will warrant cancellations.
