Snow day forecast for Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High

Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High is a high school in Galesville, Wisconsin, part of Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District. 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 Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High are almost always made at the district level. If Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District 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.

High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.

Wisconsin averages about 50 inches of snow per year. Wisconsin schools close for blizzard conditions and extreme cold. Most districts can handle routine snowfall up to 6-8 inches without closing.

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.
