Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Snow Day Calculator?
Our calculator is about 85-90% accurate based on historical verification. However, actual school or business closures depend on many factors beyond just weather conditions.
What time of day should I check for the most accurate prediction?
For the most accurate prediction, check the calculator the evening before or early morning of the potential snow day, as forecasts become more precise closer to the event.
Does the calculator work outside the United States?
Yes! The calculator works for most international locations, though accuracy may vary in regions with less reliable weather data.
Why does my location show 0% when it's snowing?
The calculator considers accumulation amounts. Light snow that won't accumulate significantly may not lead to closures. It also considers local policies - some areas are more tolerant of snow than others.
Can I use this for work closures or just schools?
While designed with school closures in mind, the calculator can also indicate potential work closures, especially in areas where businesses commonly close for snow.
