Hyper-local snow-day odds tuned to the 4–5 AM school-closure call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this official information from my school district?
No. Snow Day Alerts is not run by any school district. It is an independent tool for families and students. Always trust official emails, texts, and phone calls from your district first.
How accurate are the percentages?
The numbers are estimates based on weather patterns that often lead to closures. Weather can shift quickly, and districts may weigh factors differently. Use the odds as a guide—not a guarantee.
What time of day are the odds most useful?
We focus on the window when most closure decisions are made, roughly 4–5 AM local time. Checking the evening before and again early in the morning gives you the best picture.
Why do some big storms still show “No Snow Day Signal”?
Some districts are more likely to stay open even in heavy snow, especially if plows can keep up and temps aren’t dangerously low. Our model is conservative on purpose, so “High” and “Very High” labels aren’t flashing every time it snows.
Does the site track which districts actually closed?
At the moment, Snow Day Alerts does not display real-time closure lists. We focus on forecasts and simple odds by ZIP code. You should always double-check with your district’s website, social media, or automated phone messages.
Can teachers or districts use this site?
Absolutely. Teachers and districts can use Snow Day Alerts as one more data point when monitoring storms. It should never replace official decision-making processes or local road reports.
Is Snow Day Alerts free?
Yes. The site is free to use. Limited advertising helps cover the cost of servers, weather data, and development while we work hard to keep things family friendly.
