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

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Willingboro 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 Willingboro Township’s own big snow morning: 3.7 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 3.8 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 Willingboro Township, measured against Willingboro Township's own big snow morning of 3.7 inches.
