How Snow Day Calculator Work

1

Weather Data

We collect real-time weather data including temperature, snowfall, wind speed, and ice conditions for your area.

2

Analysis

Our algorithm analyzes multiple weather factors and their historical impact on school closure decisions.

3

Probability

We calculate the likelihood of school closure based on weather severity and regional school district policies.

What factors influence snow day probability?

  • Snowfall Amount: The primary factor, with 8+ inches having the highest impact
  • Temperature: Sub-freezing temperatures increase the likelihood of dangerous driving conditions
  • Wind Speed: High winds can create blizzard conditions and make travel dangerous
  • Ice Conditions: Black ice and freezing rain create the most hazardous driving situations
  • Regional Policies: Northern states and rural areas typically have lower thresholds for closure
