Snow Day Calculator: Will Schools Close Tomorrow?

How a Snow Day Calculator Works
A Snow Day Calculator estimates the likelihood of school or work cancellations due to heavy snowfall, extreme cold, or dangerous road conditions. It analyzes:
- ✓ • Expected snowfall accumulation (inches/cm)
- ✓ • Temperature & wind chill (risk of black ice)
- ✓ • Local school district policies (some close at 2+ inches)
- ✓ • Road conditions & plowing schedules
Many regions use historical data and weather APIs to improve accuracy.
Factors That Influence Snow Day Predictions
1. Snowfall Rate & Accumulation
- Light snow (1-2 inches): Unlikely to close schools.
- Moderate snow (3-6 inches): Possible delays or closures.
- Heavy snow (6+ inches): High chance of cancellations.
2. Temperature & Wind Chill
- Below 20°F (-6°C) + wind: Increased risk of frostbite, leading to closures.
- Rapid freeze-thaw cycles: Creates black ice, making roads hazardous.
3. School District Policies
Some districts cancel school at 2 inches, while others wait for 4+ inches. Check your local guidelines.
4. Road & Sidewalk Conditions
- Untreated roads = Higher closure chances.
- Plowing delays = More likely cancellations.
How to Use a Snow Day Calculator
- Enter your location (city or ZIP code).
- Input expected snowfall & temperature.
- Check historical closure trends for your area.
- Get a probability percentage (e.g., “80% chance of closure”).
