Q: How does the New Richmond snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for New Richmond 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 New Richmond’s own big snow morning: 3.1 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 22.6 miles away.

Q: Can Ohio schools hold a remote day instead?

A school can make up the hours of up to three closed days online, including for hazardous weather, if its board adopted a plan by August 1; using it is optional.

The odds of a closing or a delay on the next three school mornings in New Richmond, measured against New Richmond's own big snow morning of 3.1 inches.

The Ohio rule

How Ohio counts a lost day

Ohio requires hours, not days: 910 hours for full day kindergarten through grade 6, 1,001 hours for grades 7 to 12, 455 for half day kindergarten. Only hours that drop a school below the state minimum must be made up, by extending the school year.
