Snow day forecast for Island Pacific School

Island Pacific School is a middle school in Bowen Island, British Columbia, part of Island Pacific School Society. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.

Closure decisions for Island Pacific School are almost always made at the district level. If Island Pacific School Society closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Island Pacific School Society forecast).

British Columbia averages about 55 cm of snow per year. Coastal BC districts (Vancouver, Victoria) close at very low snow thresholds — even 5-10 cm can shut down schools. Interior and northern BC districts handle much more snow before closing.

How this prediction is calculated

We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.

This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Island Pacific School Society before acting on it.
