The state’s biggest districts, each read against its own forecast and its own big snow morning.
Wisconsin requires hours, not days: 437 for kindergarten, 1,050 for grades 1 to 6 and 1,137 for grades 7 to 12.
“Annually, schedule at least 437 hours of direct pupil instruction in kindergarten, at least 1,050 hours of direct pupil instruction in grades 1 to 6 and at least 1,137 hours of direct pupil instruction in grades 7 to 12.”
The hours missed on a partial weather closure, such as a late start, are not counted unless made up virtually.
“schools may not count days and parts of days on which parent and teacher conferences are held, staff development or inservice programs are held, schools are closed for inclement weather”
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.
12 Wisconsin 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
Wisconsin snow day questions
Wisconsin requires hours, not days: 437 for kindergarten, 1,050 for grades 1 to 6 and 1,137 for grades 7 to 12.
If a district offers make-up instruction virtually on a weather closure, those hours can count; the rule sets no cap on such days.
The hours missed on a partial weather closure, such as a late start, are not counted unless made up virtually.
All 412 in the state, by ZIP, with a page of their own for 183, including Milwaukee, Madison Metropolitan and Kenosha. Every page carries the district’s own snow record and the odds for its next three school mornings.
A typical Wisconsin district sees about 4.7 weekday mornings a winter with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1.9 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 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the state code.
