Snow Day Calculator

About This Tool

So, you’re wondering if school’s getting canceled tomorrow because of snow, huh? Yeah, we’ve all been there—peering out the window at 6 a.m., thermos in hand, hoping for that magical call. That’s where the Snow Day Calculator comes in. It’s not magic, but it’s close. This thing takes a bunch of real-world factors—like how much snow’s already on the ground, how fast it’s falling, road conditions, and even local school policies—and crunches them into a percentage chance your school might close. No guarantees, obviously. But it’s way better than guessing based on how many snowmen your neighbor built. I built this after missing a snow day in high school because I didn’t check the news early enough. Never again. Now, I get a heads-up. And honestly? It’s kind of fun to watch the probability climb as the storm rolls in.

• Works on your phone, tablet, or that old laptop you keep around for emergencies.

FAQ

Q: Is this 100% accurate?
A: Nope. Nothing is. Schools make the final call based on safety, not algorithms. But this tool uses real data and patterns to give you the best guess possible. Think of it like a really smart friend who follows the weather obsessively.

Q: Do I need to sign up or pay?
A: Nah. It’s free, no account needed. Just plug in your location and go. No spam, no tracking, no nonsense. I hate that stuff too.
