Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceMedicine Lodge Grade School is a school in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, part of Barber County North 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 Medicine Lodge Grade School are almost always made at the district level. If Barber County North Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Barber County North Schools 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.
Kansas averages about 18 inches of snow per year. Kansas schools close more for ice storms and blizzard-condition winds than for snow totals alone.
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 Barber County North Schools before acting on it.
