Pembroke School District Snow Day Predictor

Q: When is the last day of school for Pembroke?

June 18, 2027, on the district’s 2026 to 2027 calendar.

Q: How much snow does Pembroke get?

About 59.4 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 4.7 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 6.2 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 3.1 with 4 inches or more.

25.6 inches on December 17, 2020, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 4.7 miles away in 10 winters. The snowiest winter was 2017 to 2018, with 87.9 inches.

Q: How does the Pembroke snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Pembroke 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 Pembroke’s own big snow morning: 4.5 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 4.7 miles away.

The odds of a closing or a delay on the next three school mornings in Pembroke, measured against Pembroke's own big snow morning of 4.5 inches.

The New Hampshire rule

How New Hampshire counts a lost day

New Hampshire requires 180 days or the required hours: 450 in kindergarten, 945 in grades 1 to 6 and 990 in grades 7 to 12. Lost time must be rescheduled with added hours before a district can ask for a waiver of the hours requirement.
