About Snow Predictions - Our Mission & Story

Snow Predictions was created with a simple mission: make snow forecasting accessible to everyone, completely free. Founded by web developer and weather enthusiast Samiul Islam, our platform emerged from a personal need for reliable, snow-specific weather tools that general weather sites didn't provide. While major weather services offer broad forecasts, they often lack the specialized scoring and focus needed for snow-specific predictions. We built Snow Predictions to fill that gap, creating dedicated tools for snow forecasting, school closure predictions, travel safety, and winter activity planning. Today, families across the US and Canada use Snow Predictions for weather-based winter insights, and we remain committed to keeping all our tools 100% free with no ads or paywalls.

Our Mission: Free Snow Day Predictions for Everyone

Snow Predictions was created with one goal: to provide a clear, user-friendly snow day calculator available online - completely free. We believe every student, parent, and teacher deserves to know in advance whether there might be a snow day, so they can plan accordingly.

Our weighted multi-factor scoring model combines several weather factors to deliver school closure probability estimates. Serving families across the US and Canada, we're committed to helping people navigate winter weather with confidence.
