Publishing a snow day edition

Moments · A town from the predictor: the chance of a closure for every school day ahead, and your call - closed, delayed or open - with the snow by the bus stop.

The snow day edition form, drawn. Today it opens with Denver, Colorado on the predictor. Locks at 5 AM that morning.

What opens

Search the snow day predictor for the town and follow "Publish your edition". The form opens with the predictor's read for that town: every school day ahead scored, the factors behind each chance, and the snow in the National Weather Service forecast. The town is on its county map.

What you add, in order

  • The day - which school day you are calling. The predictor's best day is picked for you; change it if yours is different.
  • The call - schools closed, delayed opening or schools open, and how sure: possible, likely, very likely.
  • Snow by the bus stop - the low end and the high end, in inches.
  • Why - the timing, the district, the thing the predictor cannot see. "Heaviest 11 PM to 3 AM, done by the bus run. This district closes at four inches."

    • When it locks

    At 5 AM on the morning you called, local time - roughly when districts decide. Before that you can edit; after that it stands.

    The mark

    Your call is marked against the predictor's: agrees, stronger (more sure of a closure), softer, or differs. A delayed opening against a predicted closure reads as softer; against a predicted open day, stronger.

    Where it appears

    On the town's page, next to the predictor's chance; on your page; in your followers' email. When the district decides, the town page shows what happened next to both.
