Our service is provided for informational and educational purposes only. By using this service, you acknowledge that school closure decisions are made by school administrators, not by our predictions.

The Snow Day Calculator provides:

  • Weather-based predictions for potential school closures
  • Educational information about weather patterns and school closure decisions
  • Probability calculations based on multiple weather factors
  • Optional notification services for registered users

Our predictions are generated using historical data, current weather forecasts, and proprietary algorithms.

3. Accuracy Disclaimer

While we strive for accuracy in our predictions, we make no guarantees about:

  • The absolute accuracy of any prediction (our current overall accuracy rate is approximately 87%)
  • The timeliness of prediction updates during rapidly changing weather events
  • School district-specific policies that may influence closure decisions beyond weather conditions
  • Administrative decisions that may not align with weather-based predictions

You agree to use our predictions as one of several information sources when making plans related to potential school closures.

4. User Conduct

When using our service, you agree not to:

  • Misrepresent our predictions as official school announcements
  • Use our service to spread misinformation about school closures
  • Attempt to manipulate, reverse engineer, or compromise our prediction algorithms
  • Use automated tools to scrape or extract data from our service
  • Share account credentials or bypass any access controls we implement
