About the Snow Day Calculator

Our snow day calculator uses live weather data and a custom probability model to estimate the chance that schools will close for snow in your area. The snow day calculator looks at real-time forecasts for the 2025 snow season so you can quickly see how likely a snow day is before you set your alarm.

1

Real-time weather API

The snow day calculator pulls data from a weather API using your ZIP or postal code, including snowfall, temperature, wind and ice conditions for North American locations.

2

Smart probability model

Inspired by tools like the AccuWeather snow day calculator, our snow day calculator weighs snow totals, freezing temperatures, wind and ice to estimate how school districts typically respond.

3

Clear 0-100% score

The snow day calculator turns all of this into a 0-100% chance of a snow day, grouped into very low, low, medium and high levels so you can quickly see whether a snow day is likely.

What factors influence your snow day prediction?

  • Snowfall amount: heavy overnight snow is the main driver of higher snow day calculator probabilities.
  • Temperature and ice: sub-freezing temps and ice conditions make roads more dangerous for buses and cars.
  • Wind and visibility: strong winds can create whiteout conditions even when snow totals are moderate.
  • Regional policies: northern and rural districts often call snow days at lower thresholds than big city districts.

The snow day calculator is a prediction tool and cannot guarantee school closures. Always follow guidance from your local school district and official weather alerts.

Snow Day Calculator FAQ

How accurate is snow day calculator?

The snow day calculator is built to give a reasonable estimate, not a guarantee. By combining real-time weather API data with a scoring model inspired by tools like the AccuWeather snow day calculator, it usually captures the overall risk well, but local school officials make the final decision.

What is the snow day calculator 2025 based on?

The snow day calculator 2025 focuses on current North American winter patterns, using up-to-date snowfall, temperature, wind and ice forecasts. We tune the model so that each snow season the calculator reflects how districts are actually reacting to storms.

Does this snow day calculator use AccuWeather data?

This snow day calculator is not the original AccuWeather snow day calculator and does not rely on a single provider. Instead, it uses a weather API to pull live forecasts for North American locations and applies a similar idea of turning that data into an easy-to-read snow day probability.

Can I use the snow day calculator outside North America?

The snow day calculator works best for U.S. ZIP codes and Canadian postal codes, where our weather data and school-closure assumptions are strongest. Other regions may still get a result, but the prediction may be less accurate.

How often should I check the snow day calculator during a storm?

During fast-changing winter storms, it is a good idea to refresh the snow day calculator a few times as new forecasts arrive, especially the evening before and early in the morning. As conditions update, the probability score can move up or down.
