School Bus Cancellations Today (February 10, 2026)

Active winter weather across the Northeast and Great Lakes regions has caused a variety of school bus cancellations and delays for Tuesday, February 10, 2026.

While a “Snow Day” forecast had predicted widespread cancellations for Ontario, many urban boards have remained open, while rural and northern regions are seeing the bulk of the disruptions.


🇨🇦 Canada: Status by Region

Region/Consortium Affected Areas/Zones Details Reason
Wellington-Dufferin Student Transportation Services (STWDSTS) All zones: Zone 1 (Guelph), Zone 2 (Centre Wellington), Zone 3 (North Wellington), Zone 4 (Dufferin, including RF Hall) All school buses and taxis cancelled for the day. Schools may remain open, but transportation is not provided. Inclement weather (ongoing snow and poor road conditions).
Simcoe County Transportation Consortium (SCTC) North and central zones (including areas like Barrie, Orillia, and Collingwood) School vehicles (buses and vans) cancelled. South zone may operate with delays. Heavy snow squalls reducing visibility and creating hazardous driving conditions.

Ontario (The “Snowy Blast” Impact)

A system bringing 1020cm of snow triggered several cancellations, particularly in the “Near North” and snowbelt regions.

  • Parry Sound & East Parry Sound: Buses are CANCELLED for the day (Near North District School Board).

  • Muskoka & Haliburton: Buses are CANCELLED (Trillium Lakelands District School Board).

  • North Bay: Buses are CANCELLED due to ongoing steady snowfall and poor visibility.

  • Simcoe County: Rural zones in North and West Simcoe are seeing Cancellations, while buses in the South (Barrie/Orillia) are running with significant delays.

  • Greater Toronto Area (TDSB, PDSB, HDSB): Schools are OPEN and buses are running, though minor delays are expected due to slushy road conditions.

  • Ottawa: Buses are RUNNING, despite a special weather statement for the region.

Manitoba & Saskatchewan

  • Fog & Blowing Snow: Significant visibility issues have led to rural bus cancellations in southwest Manitoba (near the border) and central Saskatchewan. Local school divisions in the Regina and Winnipeg outskirts have advised parents to check individual route status due to “hazardous travel.”


🇺🇸 USA: Status by Region

District/State Affected Areas Details Reason
Washington County Public Schools (Virginia) All schools in the county Regular schedule, but buses will run on clear roads only in the morning and afternoon. No full cancellations. Residual winter weather conditions (e.g., icy roads from prior days).
Braxton County Schools (West Virginia) Bus 33A and Bus 37A routes Operating on snow routes (limited stops on main roads only). No full cancellations. Snowy or icy conditions on secondary roads.

Kentucky

  • Laurel County Public Schools: Schools are OPEN, but operating on Modified Bus Routes. Several roads remain closed due to lingering ice from previous days.

New York (Buffalo/East Aurora Area)

  • East Aurora Union Free School District: Schools are CLOSED today. While initially a delay was called, extreme cold led to “unprecedented” mechanical failures and fuel issues, preventing the bus fleet from starting safely.

Mid-Atlantic (Maryland/Virginia)

  • Delayed Openings: Many districts in Loudoun County, VA and Howard County, MD are operating on a 2-hour delay to allow for road treatment following overnight freezing rain.
