Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServicePhippsburg Elementary School is a elementary school in Phippsburg, Maine, part of Rsu 01 - Lkrsu 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 Phippsburg Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Rsu 01 - Lkrsu Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Rsu 01 - Lkrsu 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.
Maine averages about 72 inches of snow per year. Maine schools are well-equipped for snow but close for major nor'easters and dangerous wind chills below -30°F.
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 Rsu 01 - Lkrsu Schools before acting on it.
