Snow day forecast for White Marsh Elementary

White Marsh Elementary is a elementary school in Mechanicsville, Maryland, part of St. Mary's County Public 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 White Marsh Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If St. Mary's County Public Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the St. Mary's County Public Schools 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.

Maryland averages about 21 inches of snow per year. Maryland districts split between Baltimore-area and DC-area patterns. Western Maryland mountain districts have much higher closure thresholds.

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 St. Mary's County Public Schools before acting on it.
