Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceNorth Star Elementary School is a elementary school in Hockessin, Delaware, part of Red Clay Consolidated School District. 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 North Star Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Red Clay Consolidated School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Red Clay Consolidated School District forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
Delaware averages about 20 inches of snow per year. Delaware districts often follow the Philadelphia metro closure pattern and close proactively for coastal storms.
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 Red Clay Consolidated School District before acting on it.
