Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceIola-Scandinavia Elementary is a elementary school in Iola, Wisconsin, part of Iola-Scandinavia 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 Iola-Scandinavia Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Iola-Scandinavia School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Iola-Scandinavia School District forecast).
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.
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.
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 Iola-Scandinavia School District before acting on it.
