520 Michigan school districts, each read against its own snow

Michigan Snow Day Predictor

Q: Which Michigan school districts does the predictor cover?

All 520 in the state, by ZIP, with a page of their own for 317, including Detroit, Utica and Dearborn. Every page carries the district’s own snow record and the odds for its next three school mornings.

Q: How many snow days do Michigan schools get?

A typical Michigan district sees about 4.6 weekday mornings a winter with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1.4 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.

Q: How far ahead does the Michigan snow day predictor look?

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.

Q: How does the Michigan snow day predictor work?

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 Michigan Department of Education and the state code.

The odds of a closing or a delay on the next three school mornings for any Michigan ZIP, with every district’s snow record and the rules Michigan sets for a lost day.

The Michigan rules

How Michigan counts a snow day

The school year

Michigan requires at least 180 days and 1,098 hours of pupil instruction.

“each district shall provide at least 1,098 hours and 180 days of pupil instruction.”

MCL 388.1701(3)(a)

Forgiven days

The first 6 days (or the same hours) lost to conditions outside the district's control, such as severe storms, are counted as instruction; up to 3 more can be approved by the State Superintendent.

“the first 6 days or the equivalent number of hours for which pupil instruction is not provided because of conditions not within the control of school authorities, such as severe storms, fires, epidemics, utility power unavailability, water or sewer failure”

MCL 388.1701(4)(a)

Making up a lost day

Time lost beyond the forgiven days must be rescheduled to keep full state aid; the department asks districts to add days rather than minutes.

“Any classroom time a district or school loses beyond the allowable forgiven time must be rescheduled in order to receive its full amount of State School Aid funds unless the district is able to satisfy these requirements without rescheduling instruction.”

Source

Delayed starts

A scheduled late start day still counts as one day; only the hours actually provided count toward the hour total.

“All scheduled days count as one day toward meeting the day requirement for the buildings and grades scheduled to attend. This includes partial days, half-days, early release days, and late start days.”

How many snow days Michigan districts plan for

5 Michigan districts print a number of snow days on their own 2026 to 2027 calendars. A closing inside that number leaves the calendar as printed; one past it is made up, usually from a break or the end of the year.
