Snow Day Calculator for New York

New York is famous for its intense winter weather, from heavy lake-effect snowstorms battering cities like Buffalo and Syracuse to coastal Nor'easters that can shut down New York City. School districts across the state, including the massive NYC Department of Education, closely monitor these diverse threats. Our calculator analyzes hyperlocal forecasts to predict school closings across all of New York's 62 counties.

From the Tug Hill Plateau to Long Island, New York's weather is complex. Lake-effect snow from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario can create extreme, localized snowfall, while the rest of the state deals with significant temperature drops and ice. This variability makes a precise snow day predictor essential.
