Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWilliam Appleby Elementary School is a elementary school in Marathon, New York, part of Marathon 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 William Appleby Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Marathon Central School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Marathon Central School 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.
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 Marathon Central School District before acting on it.
