North Carolina averages about 5 inches of snow per year. North Carolina schools close at very low snow thresholds — even 1-2 inches can shut down most districts due to limited winter equipment.
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 Gaston County Schools before acting on it.
