Q1: How accurate is the calculator?

The tool combines NOAA weather data and machine learning for ~90% accuracy. Results update hourly as conditions change.

Q2: Does it work globally?

Currently optimized for U.S. and Canada, but supports most regions with snowfall data.

Q3: Why no 100% probability?

Weather is unpredictable! We cap at 95% to account for sudden changes or human decisions.

Q4: How often should I check?

Recheck every 3–6 hours if storms are ongoing, or once daily for next-day predictions.

Q5: Can I trust it over local news?

This tool analyzes raw data faster than manual forecasts, but always cross-check with official alerts.

Q6: Why does school type matter?

Younger students face greater safety risks. Primary schools often close at lower snowfall thresholds.

Q7: What if I get an error?

Ensure your location is spelled correctly. Still stuck? Try a nearby major city for approximate results.

Q8: Is my data stored?

No we don’t save locations or personal details.
