Will School Be Canceled? Predict Your Snow Day!

Eagerly watching the forecast? Our Snow Day Calculator analyzes weather conditions and school factors to estimate the probability of a snow day. Enter the expected snowfall, temperature, and other conditions to see if you'll be building snowmen instead of doing homework!

How Snow Day Predictions Work

School closures depend on multiple factors: snowfall accumulation, temperature, wind speed, storm timing, and your school district's history. Northern areas with better snow removal equipment typically need more snow to close, while southern districts may close with just a few inches. Our algorithm weights each factor to provide a realistic probability estimate.

Probability Formula

P(Snow Day) = f(Snowfall, Temp, Wind, Timing, School Type)
