Snow day forecast for Indian Ridge Elementary School

Indian Ridge Elementary School is a elementary school in Aurora, Colorado, part of Cherry Creek School District No. 5 in the county of Arapah. 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 Indian Ridge Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Cherry Creek School District No. 5 in the county of Arapah closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Cherry Creek School District No. 5 in the county of Arapah forecast).

Urban area — what that means for closures

Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.

Colorado averages about 57 inches of snow per year. Front Range districts close most often during spring upslope storms that can dump 1-2 feet overnight.

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 Cherry Creek School District No. 5 in the county of Arapah before acting on it.
