Hazleton Area School District Snow Day Predictor

Hazleton announces closings by 5:00 AM; a delay can become a closing by 7:00 AM, by its own published protocol.

By the district website, social media, radio and local TV, and on the district’s own closings page.

June 10, 2027, on the district’s 2026 to 2027 calendar.

About 33.9 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 3.2 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 2.4 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1.1 with 4 inches or more.

19.5 inches on March 14, 2017, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 3.2 miles away in 10 winters. The snowiest winter was 2017 to 2018, with 56.3 inches.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Hazle Twp 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 Hazleton’s own big snow morning: 2.7 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 3.2 miles away.

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.
