How the Morgantown snow day calculator works

Our calculator pulls real-time weather forecast data for the Morgantown, West Virginia area and analyzes several factors that influence school closure decisions: expected snowfall accumulation and intensity, ice and freezing rain probability, wind chill and air temperature, timing of the storm relative to the morning commute, forecast confidence, and overall road condition forecasts. In addition to closure probability, we also predict the chance of a 2-hour delay and early dismissal.

Different school types have different closure thresholds. Public schools in the Morgantown area typically follow district-wide decisions that account for bus route safety across a wide geographic area. Private and charter schools often make independent decisions and may close at slightly lower thresholds. Colleges and universities rarely cancel classes for snow unless conditions are severe, and typically do not issue 2-hour delays.

For the best results, check the calculator after 6 PM the evening before a potential snow day. Weather models are most accurate within a 12 to 24 hour window, and most school districts make their closure announcements between 5 AM and 6 AM the morning of the event. Our prediction reflects the latest available forecast data each time you load the page.
