FAQs: Your Questions Answered
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.
