Oak Hills Local School District Snow Day Predictor

Q: How does Oak Hills announce a snow day?

By the district website and phone call, and on the district’s own closings page.

It can. Oak Hills has virtual learning days in its winter plan. When a closing gets likely, the morning here reads "Snow day or remote day".

May 28, 2027, on the district’s 2026 to 2027 calendar.

Q: How much snow does Cincinnati get?

About 20 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 2.9 miles away, averaged over 7 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 2 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.7 with 4 inches or more.

Q: What was the biggest snow day near Oak Hills?

7 inches on January 6, 2025, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 2.9 miles away in 7 winters. The snowiest winter was 2025 to 2026, with 33.3 inches.

Q: How does the Oak Hills snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Cincinnati 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 Oak Hills’s own big snow morning: 3.3 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 2.9 miles away.

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.
