Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceTJ Dempsey Therapeutic Day School is a school in Nachusa, Illinois, part of Dixon USD 170. 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 TJ Dempsey Therapeutic Day School are almost always made at the district level. If Dixon USD 170 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Dixon USD 170 forecast).
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.
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 Dixon USD 170 before acting on it.
