Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceGaffney Lane Elementary School is a elementary school in Oregon City, Oregon, part of Oregon City SD 62 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 Gaffney Lane Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Oregon City SD 62 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Oregon City SD 62 Schools forecast).
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.
Oregon averages about 5 inches of snow per year. Portland and the Willamette Valley close at very low thresholds — any snow or ice accumulation on roads typically triggers closures.
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 Oregon City SD 62 Schools before acting on it.
