Snow day forecast for Farmington River Elementary

Farmington River Elementary is a elementary school in Otis, Massachusetts, part of Farmington River Reg 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 Farmington River Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Farmington River Reg Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Farmington River Reg 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.

Massachusetts averages about 48 inches of snow per year. Massachusetts districts decide independently but often follow regional patterns during major nor'easters. Boston has closed less than 10 times in recent years.

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 Farmington River Reg Schools before acting on it.
