Snow day forecast for Lawrence University

Lawrence University is a college or university in Appleton, Wisconsin. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.

Urban area — what that means for closures

Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.

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.

This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Lawrence University before acting on it.
