About the Snow Day Calculator
The Snow Day Calculator is a tool designed to predict the likelihood of school closures due to winter weather conditions. Our algorithm analyzes multiple factors that school administrators consider when making cancellation decisions.
How It Works
Our calculator uses a weighted algorithm based on:
- Snowfall Amount: More snow increases cancellation chances, especially over 4 inches
- Temperature: Extreme cold (below 20°F) increases likelihood even with less snow
- Ice Accumulation: Even small amounts of ice can make roads dangerous
- Wind Speed: High winds create dangerous wind chills and snow drifts
- Local Factors: Your school district’s history and local infrastructure
Limitations
While our calculator provides a good estimate, final decisions depend on many local factors we can’t account for, including:
- Exact timing of the storm (overnight vs. daytime)
- Local road treatment capabilities
- School district policies and superintendent discretion
- Bus route safety in your specific area
