Welcome to Snow Day Calculator! Since our launch in 2021, we've been the trusted source for students, parents, and educators looking to predict school closings due to winter weather.
What started as a side project by our founder, Michael Chen, has grown into a comprehensive weather prediction platform trusted by over 500,000 users across North America. As former teachers and meteorology enthusiasts, we understand the impact that accurate predictions can have on daily life during winter months.
At Snow Day Calculator, our mission is to provide the most accurate and reliable school closing predictions by combining cutting-edge weather data analysis with machine learning algorithms that improve over time.
We're dedicated to making complex weather prediction accessible to everyone. Whether you're a student hoping for a day off, a parent planning childcare, or a school administrator making tough decisions, we aim to give you the clearest picture of potential school closings.
Our calculator uses a proprietary algorithm that analyzes multiple data points:
By combining these factors with machine learning techniques, we're able to provide predictions that are consistently more accurate than traditional weather forecasts alone. Our algorithm continues to improve with each winter season as it learns from new data patterns.
Former high school physics teacher with a passion for meteorology and machine learning.
Professional meteorologist with 10+ years experience in winter weather forecasting.
Specializes in predictive modeling and algorithm optimization for weather prediction.
Creates intuitive user experiences that make complex weather data easy to understand.
Founded by Michael Chen, the initial version of the calculator goes live for the Northeast U.S.
Coverage expanded to include all 50 states with region-specific prediction models.
Implemented advanced ML algorithms to improve prediction accuracy by 37%.
Released iOS and Android apps with push notifications for weather alerts.
Launched partnerships with over 200 school districts to provide customized forecasting.
We're proud to maintain an 86% accuracy rate for snow day predictions across all regions. In areas where we have extensive historical data, our accuracy rate climbs to over 92%. We're constantly refining our algorithms to improve these numbers each winter season.
