FAQ
Find answers to the most common questions about our Snow Day Calculator
How accurate is the Snow Day Calculator?
Our calculator uses real-time weather data from OpenWeatherMap API and advanced algorithms to provide accurate predictions based on snowfall, temperature, wind speed, and weather conditions. While we strive for high accuracy, weather predictions are inherently probabilistic and should be used as guidance rather than absolute certainty.
Does the calculator work for both US and Canada?
Yes! Our Snow Day Calculator works with both US ZIP codes and Canadian postal codes, providing accurate predictions for both countries. Simply enter your location code and get instant results.
What factors does the calculator consider?
The calculator analyzes multiple weather factors including snowfall amount, temperature, wind speed, weather conditions, timing, and local weather patterns to determine the likelihood of school closures.
How often is the weather data updated?
Our calculator uses real-time weather data that is updated continuously throughout the day. We pull the latest information from reliable weather APIs to ensure you get the most current predictions.
Is my location data secure?
Yes, your privacy and security are our top priorities. Your location data is processed securely and never stored permanently. We only use it to fetch weather information for your area.
Can I use the calculator on mobile devices?
Absolutely! Our Snow Day Calculator is fully responsive and works perfectly on all devices including smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The interface adapts to your screen size for optimal user experience.
What time should I check for snow day predictions?
For the most accurate predictions, we recommend checking the calculator the evening before or early morning of the potential snow day. Weather conditions can change rapidly, so checking closer to the time gives you the most current information.
How does the calculator determine snow day probability?
Our algorithm analyzes historical weather patterns, current conditions, and forecasted weather to calculate the probability of school closures. It considers factors like snow accumulation, road conditions, and local school district policies.
Is the calculator free to use?
Yes! Our Snow Day Calculator is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium features. We believe everyone should have access to accurate weather predictions.
What if the calculator predicts a snow day but school isn't cancelled?
Our calculator provides predictions based on weather conditions, but final decisions about school closures are made by local school districts. Weather is unpredictable, and school officials may consider additional factors beyond weather conditions.
