FAQs
How accurate is US Snow Day Calculator?
US Snow Day Calculator is designed to give a realistic estimate of snow day chances, not a perfect prediction. It looks at real forecast data, winter alerts, and school type to produce a probability. Weather and human decisions are both unpredictable, so no tool can be 100 percent accurate. Use the percentage as a planning guide and always confirm with official school announcements.
Is US Snow Day Calculator accurate enough to rely on for school decisions?
US Snow Day Calculator can help you plan and set expectations, but it should never be the only source you rely on. School closure decisions are made by local administrators who consider many factors, including roads, buses, staff, and safety. Always follow your school or district for final decisions.
