How accurate is the snow day prediction?

Our predictions are based on multiple factors including current weather data, historical patterns, and school-specific parameters. While we strive for accuracy, weather can be unpredictable, and final decisions are always made by school administrators.

What factors are considered in the calculation?

We consider several key factors, such as current temperature, expected snowfall, wind speed, time of day, school type, previous snow days used, and historical closing patterns.

Why do I need to select a school type?

Different types of schools (public, private, charter, catholic) often have different criteria for declaring snow days. Public schools typically follow district-wide decisions, while private schools might have more flexibility in their decision-making process.

How is the weather data updated?

We use real-time weather data from OpenWeatherMap API, which is updated frequently throughout the day. Each time you make a calculation, we fetch the latest available weather data for your location.

Can I check multiple locations?

You can check as many locations as you want. Simply enter a different City name or ZIP code for each calculation. This is especially useful if you're comparing probabilities across different areas or school districts.
