Cherry Hill Township School District Snow Day Predictor

Q: How much snow does Cherry Hill get?

About 12.4 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 3.9 miles away, averaged over 8 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 1.8 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.4 with 4 inches or more.

Q: What was the biggest snow day near Cherry Hill Township?

8.1 inches on January 25, 2026, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 3.9 miles away in 8 winters. The snowiest winter was 2025 to 2026, with 32.4 inches.

Q: How does the Cherry Hill Township snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Cherry Hill 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 Cherry Hill Township’s own big snow morning: 4.1 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 3.9 miles away.

Q: Can New Jersey schools hold a remote day instead?

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.

The odds of a closing or a delay on the next three school mornings in Cherry Hill Township, measured against Cherry Hill Township's own big snow morning of 4.1 inches.
