Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Snow Day Calculator?

The Snow Day Calculator is an AI-powered tool that predicts the likelihood of school closures due to snow and severe weather conditions. Using advanced machine learning algorithms, we analyze multiple weather factors and historical data to provide accurate predictions.

How accurate are the predictions?

Our AI model achieves an accuracy rate of over 85% for predictions made within 24 hours of a weather event. The accuracy increases as we get closer to the potential snow day, thanks to more precise weather data and continuous model learning.

Is this service free?

Yes, the Snow Day Calculator is completely free to use. We believe in making weather prediction technology accessible to everyone in the education community.

What factors does the calculator consider?

Our AI analyzes multiple factors including:

• Snow accumulation and intensity
• Temperature and wind chill
• Road conditions and ice formation
• Historical school closure data
• Local district policies
• Regional weather patterns

How often are predictions updated?

Predictions are updated every hour using the latest weather data and forecasts. For the most accurate results, we recommend checking back within 12 hours of the potential snow day.

Which areas are covered?

We currently cover most schools in regions that experience regular snowfall, including the Northeast, Midwest, and mountainous areas of the United States. We're continuously expanding our coverage to new regions.

How do I add my school?

If your school isn't listed, you can contact us through the support email, and we'll work to add it to our database. We'll need basic information about your school district and its closure history.

What data do you collect?

We only collect essential data needed for predictions, including your location and school selection. We don't collect any personal information and don't share your data with third parties.

How is my location data used?

Location data is used solely for providing accurate weather predictions for your area. You can also manually enter your location if you prefer not to share your exact location.
