The state’s biggest districts, each read against its own forecast and its own big snow morning.
Nebraska requires at least 1,032 instructional hours for elementary grades and 1,080 for high school.
“The school term shall not be less than (1) one thousand thirty-two instructional hours for elementary grades and (2) one thousand eighty instructional hours for high school grades”
At the State Board's discretion, a district that closed for severe storms or epidemic sickness keeps its accreditation and state aid, after the board secretary files a sworn statement if fewer hours will be offered.
“At the discretion of the State Board of Education, the closing of a school shall not prevent a district from being accredited or receiving its proper share of state funds when epidemic sickness or severe storm conditions prevail”
Ranked by weekday mornings from December through March with 4 inches or more of new snow at the 7 am reading, averaged over ten winters at each district’s nearest NOAA weather station.
3 Nebraska 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.
Snow a winter and 4 inch mornings come from each district’s nearest NOAA weather station over ten winters. Built in days are the district’s own, read from its calendar. Every linked district has a page with its live odds, its snow record and its schools.

Questions
Nebraska snow day questions
Nebraska requires at least 1,032 instructional hours for elementary grades and 1,080 for high school.
At the State Board's discretion, a district that closed for severe storms or epidemic sickness keeps its accreditation and state aid, after the board secretary files a sworn statement if fewer hours will be offered.
All 241 in the state, by ZIP, with a page of their own for 19, including Omaha, Lincoln and Millard. Every page carries the district’s own snow record and the odds for its next three school mornings.
A typical Nebraska district sees about 2.4 weekday mornings a winter with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1 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 Nebraska Department of Education and the state code.
