The state’s biggest districts, each read against its own forecast and its own big snow morning.
New Jersey requires at least 180 days of school, or the district loses state aid.
“No State aid shall be paid to any district which has not provided public school facilities for at least 180 days during the preceding school year, but the commissioner, for good cause shown, may remit the penalty.”
A virtual or remote day counts toward the 180 days only when schools close for more than three consecutive days because of a declared state of emergency, a declared public health emergency or a health agency directive, under a program the commissioner approved.
“a school district is required to close the schools of the district for more than three consecutive school days due to a declared state of emergency, declared public health emergency, or a directive by the appropriate health agency or officer”
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.
7 New Jersey 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
New Jersey snow day questions
New Jersey requires at least 180 days of school, or the district loses state aid.
A virtual or remote day counts toward the 180 days only when schools close for more than three consecutive days because of a declared state of emergency, a declared public health emergency or a health agency directive, under a program the commissioner approved.
All 486 in the state, by ZIP, with a page of their own for 127, including Newark, Elizabeth and Jersey City. Every page carries the district’s own snow record and the odds for its next three school mornings.
A typical New Jersey district sees about 2.3 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 New Jersey Department of Education and the state code.
