Q: How much snow does Whiteland get?

About 18.8 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 4.3 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 1.1 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.6 with 4 inches or more.

Q: How does the Clark-Pleasant snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Whiteland through the night and the 5 to 8 am bus run, adds winter alerts and the Winter Storm Severity Index, and measures the snow against Clark-Pleasant’s own big snow morning: 1.9 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 4.3 miles away.
