Logan County School District Snow Day Predictor

June 4, 2027, on the district’s 2026 to 2027 calendar.

Q: How much snow does West Logan get?

About 5.8 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station under a mile away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 0.8 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.4 with 4 inches or more.

Q: How does the Logan snow day predictor work?

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for West Logan 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 Logan’s own big snow morning: 3.9 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station under a mile away.

How Logan calls a snow day

Making up a lost day

Out of calendar days are used to make up canceled instructional days when non-instructional days are not enough.

“Out-of-calendar days must be used to make-up canceled instructional days, if non-instructional days are not adequate”

The West Virginia rule

How West Virginia counts a lost day

West Virginia requires at least 900 instructional hours a year, with each county setting the length of its days. The State Superintendent may lower the minimum in a county under a federal disaster declaration or a Governor's emergency declaration tied to the lost hours.
