Snow day forecast for Henry L Slater Elementary School

Henry L Slater Elementary School is a elementary school in Burns, Oregon, part of Harney County SD 3 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 Henry L Slater Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Harney County SD 3 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Harney County SD 3 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.

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.

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 Harney County SD 3 Schools before acting on it.
