Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceEdith L Slocum Elementary School is a elementary school in Ronkonkoma, New York, part of Connetquot 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 Edith L Slocum Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Connetquot Central School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Connetquot Central School District forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
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.
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 Connetquot Central School District before acting on it.
