Snow day forecast for Virgil I Grissom Middle School

Virgil I Grissom Middle School is a middle school in Mishawaka, Indiana, part of Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp. 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 Virgil I Grissom Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp 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.

Indiana averages about 26 inches of snow per year. Indiana districts use a county-level travel advisory system — Level 2 and Level 3 advisories typically trigger closures.

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 Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp before acting on it.
