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