About 66.5 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 5.5 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 8.3 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 3.8 with 4 inches or more.

21 inches on February 13, 2017, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 5.5 miles away in 10 winters. The snowiest winter was 2017 to 2018, with 99.9 inches.

School Administrative District 75 averages 3.8 weekday mornings a winter with 4 inches of new snow or more, more than 53 percent of the 217 Maine districts with a station record.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Topsham 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 School Administrative District 75’s own big snow morning: 5 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 5.5 miles away.

Maine requires a 180 day school year with at least 175 days of instruction. The Commissioner may waive the minimum days on a school board's written application, but only after the district has tried every reasonable way to make the days up.
