Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceGrafton School is a school in Cold Spring, Minnesota, part of Benton-Stearns Education District. 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 Grafton School are almost always made at the district level. If Benton-Stearns Education District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Benton-Stearns Education District 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.
Minnesota averages about 54 inches of snow per year. Minnesota schools are built for winter but close for blizzard warnings and extreme wind chill events below -35°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 Benton-Stearns Education District before acting on it.
