Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceElk Mountain Elementary is a elementary school in Elk Mountain, Wyoming, part of Carbon County School District #2. 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 Elk Mountain Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Carbon County School District #2 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Carbon County School District #2 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.
Wyoming averages about 60 inches of snow per year. Wyoming schools close primarily for ground blizzards and extreme wind — high winds across open terrain create whiteout conditions even with modest snowfall.
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 Carbon County School District #2 before acting on it.
