Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know — answered clearly.
Weather apps tell you how much snow is coming. Our predictor tells you whether that snow will close school — which requires modeling local infrastructure, district thresholds, storm timing, and historical patterns.
The score weights snowfall (45%), temperature (30%), wind speed (15%), and historical baseline (10%). Freezing rain automatically elevates the score because it is the leading cause of school closures.
It means that in 70 out of 100 historically similar weather events in your region, school was closed. It is not a guarantee, but a strong indication that you should prepare for a possible day off.
The most reliable window is 8–10 PM the night before a storm. At that point, forecast models have resolved the storm track and accumulation totals with high confidence.
Yes. The probability bands reflect both outcomes: 40–65% suggests a likely 2-hour delay, while 65%+ indicates a high probability of full closure.
The predictor is calibrated for K-12 school districts. College campuses use different closure criteria, though a very high score (85%+) typically aligns with university closures as well.
