Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Snow Day Calculator?
Our calculator uses real-time weather data and considers multiple factors including temperature, snowfall, wind conditions, and historical district decisions. While no prediction tool is 100% accurate, we provide a well-researched probability based on comprehensive weather and district-specific data.
Why does the calculator need my school district information?
Different school districts have varying policies and thresholds for declaring snow days. Including your district helps our calculator factor in local decision-making patterns for more accurate predictions.
How far in advance can I check for potential snow days?
The calculator uses weather forecast data for the next 24 hours to provide the most accurate predictions. While you can check at any time, predictions become more accurate as the potential snow day approaches.
Why do previous snow days affect the probability?
Many school districts have limits on the number of snow days they can declare per year. Districts that have already used several snow days may be more hesitant to declare additional ones, which our calculator takes into account.
Can I use this calculator for any location?
Yes! Our calculator works for any location worldwide where weather data is available. However, remember that snow days are more common in regions that regularly experience winter weather conditions.
