Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceNorthern Hills Academy is a school in Sparta, New Jersey, part of Sussex County Educational Services Commission. 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 Northern Hills Academy are almost always made at the district level. If Sussex County Educational Services Commission closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Sussex County Educational Services Commission 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.
New Jersey averages about 25 inches of snow per year. New Jersey districts are notorious for preemptive closures. Northern NJ closes more frequently than southern counties.
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 Sussex County Educational Services Commission before acting on it.
