Snow day forecast for Wheatland Colony School

Wheatland Colony School is a school in Tower City, North Dakota, part of Maple Valley 4 Schools. 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 Wheatland Colony School are almost always made at the district level. If Maple Valley 4 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Maple Valley 4 Schools 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.

North Dakota averages about 44 inches of snow per year. North Dakota schools close primarily for blizzard conditions and extreme wind chill rather than snow totals alone.

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 Maple Valley 4 Schools before acting on it.
