Calculate Snow Day Chance

Enter your ZIP code or City to get real-time school closure predictions based on live NOAA winter forecasts.

Localized Snow Thresholds

Calculates risk based on regional plow capabilities. A Southern district closes on 0.5 inches; Northern districts require over 6 inches.

Ice Accumulation Index

Evaluates freezing rain and ice thickness. Sleet and black ice make bus transit impossible, resulting in immediate high closure risks.

Extreme Cold Safety

Flags sub-zero temperatures. Low temperatures endanger children at bus stops and compromise diesel bus heating systems.

Blizzard & Wind Chill

Combines wind speed with snowfall to predict low-visibility whiteouts and dangerous drifting snow conditions on county roads.
