Chance of a snow day in Peterborough
The estimate above is driven by the forecast for Peterborough, not by generic city text. Snow during the early-morning travel window counts more than snow that ends earlier, and the model also checks freezing precipitation, refreeze risk, severe cold, wind gusts and visibility.
Bus cancellation or school closure? In many Canadian boards the first thing bad weather changes is transportation: buses are cancelled for the day while schools stay open for students who can get there safely. The "weather disruption signal" combines the closure and delay chances as a rough guide to how likely the morning is to be disrupted. It is not a separate, calibrated bus-cancellation model.
How this Peterborough estimate works
The baseline model uses live Open-Meteo forecast data. It does not claim to know a board's historical closure behaviour, and ChanceOfSnowDay does not publish an accuracy percentage until verified outcomes have been collected and reviewed.
