How often do snow forecasts update?▼
Snow Predictions updates automatically every hour with fresh data from meteorological sources. For rapidly developing weather systems, we may update more frequently. Always check the timestamp on your forecast to see when it was last updated.
How far ahead can I see snow forecasts?▼
Snow Predictions provides hourly forecasts for the next 48 hours, detailed 7-day forecasts, and extended 16-day predictions. Accuracy naturally decreases for longer-range forecasts, but our 16-day outlook gives you valuable planning insights for upcoming winter weather.
Why is the snow day calculator not 100% accurate?▼
School closure decisions involve human judgment by district administrators who consider factors beyond weather, including testing schedules, make-up day policies, and community expectations. While we achieve 92% accuracy by analyzing weather data and historical patterns, the final decision is unpredictable human discretion.
