Snow day forecast for Peetz Junior-Senior High School

Peetz Junior-Senior High School is a high school in Peetz, Colorado, part of School District No. Re-5 Plateau. 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 Peetz Junior-Senior High School are almost always made at the district level. If School District No. Re-5 Plateau closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the School District No. Re-5 Plateau forecast).

Rural area — what that means for closures

Rural districts run the longest bus routes over the least-treated roads, so they typically close at lower snowfall totals than nearby urban districts — often on forecasts that would leave a city district open.

High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.

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 School District No. Re-5 Plateau before acting on it.
