Snow day forecast for Walnut Springs Middle School

Walnut Springs Middle School is a middle school in Westerville, Ohio, part of Westerville City 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 Walnut Springs Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Westerville City Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Westerville City Schools forecast).

Suburban area — what that means for closures

Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.

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.

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 Westerville City Schools before acting on it.
