Snow day forecast for Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School

Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School is a elementary school in Amsterdam, New York, part of Broadalbin-Perth Central School 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 Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Broadalbin-Perth Central School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Broadalbin-Perth Central School District 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.

New York averages about 50 inches of snow per year. Upstate NY (Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester) rarely closes thanks to robust plowing, while NYC schools almost never close. Suburban districts are more closure-prone.

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 Broadalbin-Perth Central School District before acting on it.
