Ohio averages about 28 inches of snow per year. Ohio uses a Level 1-3 snow emergency system. Most schools close at Level 2 and virtually all close at Level 3 county emergencies.
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.
