Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceProject Impact is a school in Springfield, Illinois, part of Menard/Sangamon ROE Schools. 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 Project Impact are almost always made at the district level. If Menard/Sangamon ROE Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Menard/Sangamon ROE Schools forecast).
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.
Illinois averages about 38 inches of snow per year. Chicago Public Schools rarely close, but suburban and downstate districts close more frequently for lake-effect and prairie blizzard events.
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 Menard/Sangamon ROE Schools before acting on it.
