About 38 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 8.8 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 3.4 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1 with 4 inches or more.

9.5 inches on January 25, 2026, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 8.8 miles away in 10 winters. The snowiest winter was 2017 to 2018, with 53.3 inches.

Canton City School District averages 1 weekday mornings a winter with 4 inches of new snow or more, more than 72 percent of the 582 Ohio districts with a station record.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Canton through the night and the 5 to 8 am bus run, adds winter alerts and the Winter Storm Severity Index, and measures the snow against Canton City School District’s own big snow morning: 2.5 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 8.8 miles away.

Ohio requires hours, not days: 910 hours for full day kindergarten through grade 6, 1,001 hours for grades 7 to 12, 455 for half day kindergarten. Only hours that drop a school below the state minimum must be made up, by extending the school year.
