Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Jr/Sr High is a high school in Eddyville, Iowa, part of Eddyville-Blakesburg- Fremont CSD. 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 Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Jr/Sr High are almost always made at the district level. If Eddyville-Blakesburg- Fremont CSD closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Eddyville-Blakesburg- Fremont CSD 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.
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.
Iowa averages about 35 inches of snow per year. Iowa schools watch wind chill closely — many districts close when wind chill drops below -25°F regardless of snowfall.
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.
