1. Nature of the Service
Snow Day Calculator is a free informational tool that provides probability estimates for school closures based on weather data. Our predictions are estimates only and are not official school announcements. The snow day probability score is generated by an algorithm and is not a guarantee or promise that school will be cancelled.
2. Disclaimer: Predictions Are Not Official
You must always verify school closure decisions with your official school district, local government, or other authoritative sources. School closing decisions are made by school superintendents or local authorities and may be announced via:
- Your school district's official website and automated notification system
- Local television and radio stations
- Official district social media accounts
- Emergency alert services
Do not rely solely on our tool when making decisions about school attendance, travel, or childcare. Weather conditions and school closure decisions can change rapidly.
3. Limitation of Liability
Snow Day Calculator and its operators are not liable for any damages, losses, costs, or inconveniences arising from:
- Reliance on our probability predictions without verifying with official sources
- Inaccurate or outdated weather forecast data from third-party APIs
- Service interruptions, downtime, or technical errors
- Any decisions made based on our snow day predictions
The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy of predictions.
