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.
