Weather & School Closure Disclaimer
Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on any weather calculations or school snow-day probability estimates provided on SnowCalculator.us.
1. Snow Day Predictions Are Not Official Decisions
SnowCalculator.us is an independent digital utility. Snow-day probabilities and school closure likelihood estimates generated on this platform are hypothetical, experimental scenario approximations based on weather model data and general municipal infrastructure heuristics.
We do not declare school closures. Official determinations regarding school closures, delayed openings, early dismissals, bus schedule alterations, and extracurricular cancellations are made exclusively and legally by local school boards, district superintendents, transportation directors, and municipal emergency authorities.
Always verify school operating status directly through your school district's official communication portal, automated phone/SMS alert system, or local television and radio broadcasts.
2. Meteorological Forecast Uncertainty
Weather forecasts presented on this website are retrieved from the National Weather Service (NWS / NOAA). Atmospheric prediction involves complex mathematical models that are subject to rapid shifts in storm trajectory, temperature profiles aloft, and precipitation rates.
A difference of 1�F to 2�F near the surface can radically change precipitation from heavy snow into freezing rain or liquid rain. In addition, localized terrain features (such as elevation changes, lake-effect snow squalls, or urban heat islands) can result in stark differences over distances of only a few miles.
3. No Warranty & Limitation of Liability
All information, tools, calculations, and editorial content on SnowCalculator.us are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Under no circumstances shall SnowCalculator.us, its creators, or its contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from travel decisions, childcare arrangements, absence from work or school, or reliance upon information obtained through this website.
For official life-safety announcements and severe winter weather warnings, always consult weather.gov and local emergency management agencies.
