About 13.7 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 9.6 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 1.7 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.8 with 4 inches or more.

Q: How does the Abington snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Abington 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 Abington’s own big snow morning: 5.1 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 9.6 miles away.

Making up a lost day

No make-up dates are set; the calendar says additional days may be required if weather closes schools.

“Note: Additional Days may be required as instructional days in the event schools are closed due to weather emergencies during the regularly scheduled school year.”

The Pennsylvania rule

How Pennsylvania counts a lost day

Pennsylvania requires either 180 days, or hours: 900 for kindergarten through grade 6 and 990 for grades 7 to 12, as the district chooses. The state forgives no days; districts are expected to build make-up days into the calendar for closures beyond any Flexible Instructional Days.
