Get accurate snow day predictions for your school district based on real-time weather data
School districts consider multiple factors including temperature, snowfall amount, wind conditions, road conditions, and timing of the storm when making closure decisions.
Most schools close when temperatures drop below -10°F with wind chill, or when ice conditions make transportation dangerous for students and staff.
Bus routes and road conditions are primary concerns. Even light snow can cause closures if it creates hazardous driving conditions during school hours.
When a storm hits affects closure decisions. Overnight snow allows time for plowing, while morning storms may cause delays or early dismissals.
