Who We Are
We’re a small but passionate team of weather watchers, code crafters, and snow day dreamers who vividly remember the thrill of watching the morning news—pajamas still on, fingers crossed—waiting for that glorious moment when our school’s name might appear on the snow day scroll at the bottom of the TV screen.
That anticipation—that magical pause between a storm warning and the official announcement—inspired us to create the Snow Day Calculator.
Our journey began over mugs of hot cocoa and a shared memory of a surprise snowstorm that shut down our entire town. That day off? Unforgettable. And it got us thinking—what if there were a way to predict those special snow days with real data and a touch of tech magic?
So we built it.
What We Do
The Snow Day Calculator uses live weather forecasts, storm alerts, and historical school closure data to predict the likelihood of school closures due to snow. By analyzing everything from snowfall accumulation to regional closure trends, we provide a reliable, easy-to-understand prediction tool that helps students, parents, and teachers plan ahead.
Whether you’re a student hoping for an extra hour of sleep, a parent rearranging your day, or a teacher prepping a lesson plan—you shouldn’t have to wait in uncertainty. That’s where we come in.
Our Mission
Purpose
To empower students, parents, and teachers with accurate, timely information about the likelihood of snow days, so they can plan and enjoy every flake!
Why It Matters
Winter weather is unpredictable, but your plans don’t have to be. We’re here to take the guesswork out of snow days and replace it with clarity—and maybe a little excitement too.
Our Vision
Looking Ahead
To be the go-to resource for anyone facing winter weather, creating a community where everyone can share in the excitement of a snowy day.
