Snow Day Calculator
Estimate the probability of a snow day based on weather conditions.
❄️ What Is a Snow Day Calculator?
2A Snow Day Calculator is a fun yet practical tool that helps students, parents, teachers, and commuters estimate the likelihood of school closures or delays due to winter weather.
3Using the latest weather conditions you enter — including temperature, snowfall, precipitation, wind speed, and location type — the calculator generates a 0% to 100% snow day probability score.
4It’s not official, but it’s a smart and realistic way to predict winter closures based on the same factors used by schools and transportation authorities.

🌨️ How This Snow Day Calculator Works
7The calculator uses a simple weighted scoring model that considers:
81️⃣ Temperature
9The colder the temperature, the more likely snow sticks to roads.
10
Temperatures below freezing (32°F) increase the probability of a snow day.
2️⃣ Expected Snow Accumulation (inches)
12More inches = higher chance of:
