Q: How does the Moorestown Township snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Moorestown 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 Moorestown Township’s own big snow morning: 4.1 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 4.3 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 Moorestown Township, measured against Moorestown Township's own big snow morning of 4.1 inches.
