Closure decisions for Simon Alaittuq School are almost always made at the district level. If Nunavut Department of Education Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Nunavut Department of Education Schools forecast).
Nunavut averages about 150 cm of snow per year. Nunavut schools close for extreme cold and blizzard conditions. With winter temperatures regularly below -30°C, closures are driven by wind chill and visibility rather than snowfall totals.
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 Nunavut Department of Education Schools before acting on it.
