Connecticut Snow Day Predictor

Connecticut requires at least 180 days and 900 hours of actual school work, counting no more than 7 hours a day.

A remote learning day counts as an actual school session if it meets the Commissioner's remote learning standards; the statute sets no cap.

On a weather delay or early dismissal, a district with separate morning and afternoon half-day kindergarten may hold just one of the two sessions; the statute does not address older grades.

All 166 in the state, by ZIP, with a page of their own for 107, including Bridgeport, New Haven and Waterbury. Every page carries the district’s own snow record and the odds for its next three school mornings.

A typical Connecticut district sees about 3.4 weekday mornings a winter with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1.7 with 4 inches or more, counted on weekdays from December 1 through March 31 at each district’s nearest NOAA weather station over ten winters. The snowiest districts in the table see several times that.

Three school mornings, as far as the National Weather Service hourly forecast reaches. Weekends and the district’s winter break are skipped, so a Friday storm is read for Monday’s buses.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for your ZIP through the night and the bus hours, adds winter alerts and the Winter Storm Severity Index, and measures the snow against what counts as a big morning for your district. The state rules come from the Connecticut State Department of Education and the state code.
