Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 5, 2026

Welcome to Snow-Calculator.com. These Terms of Service explain the conditions that apply when you access or use this website, including the Snow Day Calculator, manual calculator, articles, weather information, and other features made available through the site.

By using Snow-Calculator.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.

Purpose of Snow-Calculator.com

Snow-Calculator.com is an informational website designed to help students, parents, families, and other visitors estimate the likelihood of a possible school closure based on forecast winter-weather conditions.

The Snow Day Calculator evaluates weather-related factors such as expected snowfall, freezing rain or ice, temperature and wind chill, storm timing, wind, visibility, official weather alerts, and the general school-district closing tendency selected by the user.

The result is an estimate only. Snow-Calculator.com does not make official school-closure decisions and does not guarantee that a school will open, close, delay, dismiss early, or move to remote learning.

Official announcements from your school or school district always take priority over any prediction displayed on this website.

Weather Information

For locations in the United States, Snow-Calculator.com uses forecast and alert information from the National Weather Service. For Canadian locations, forecast and warning information is obtained from Environment and Climate Change Canada.

These organizations provide underlying weather information but do not operate, endorse, sponsor, or approve Snow-Calculator.com or the predictions produced by the calculator.

Weather forecasts can change quickly, and third-party weather or location services may occasionally provide delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate information. Snow-Calculator.com cannot guarantee that every weather value, warning, or forecast will always be current, complete, or error-free.

Use of the Calculator

You may use the Snow Day Calculator for personal, informational, educational, and planning purposes.

The calculator is intended to help users better understand whether forecast winter-weather conditions appear favorable for possible school disruption. It should not be used as an official school-status announcement, emergency alert, professional weather forecast, or safety determination.

You are responsible for confirming important information through appropriate official sources before making decisions involving school attendance, childcare, travel, transportation, work, appointments, or personal safety.

Manual Calculator

Snow-Calculator.com may provide a manual calculator that allows users to enter hypothetical weather conditions and see how those conditions could affect an estimated school-closure probability.

Manual calculator results depend entirely on the values entered or selected by the user. They do not represent an official or automatically retrieved weather forecast and should not be interpreted as confirmation that the entered conditions are expected to occur.

The manual calculator is primarily intended for educational, exploratory, and planning purposes.

Acceptable Use

You may use Snow-Calculator.com for normal personal and informational purposes.

You agree not to intentionally interfere with the operation or security of the website, attempt to gain unauthorized access to website systems, introduce malicious software, overload website infrastructure, misuse automated tools to disrupt the service, attempt to bypass reasonable technical restrictions, or use the website in a way that violates applicable law.

Reasonable access by ordinary users, search engines, accessibility tools, and legitimate web technologies is not prohibited.

Automated Access and Data Collection

Large-scale automated requests, scraping, crawling, extraction, or other automated activity that places an unreasonable burden on Snow-Calculator.com or its third-party data services may be restricted.

Search engines and other legitimate services may access publicly available pages in accordance with applicable technical controls such as robots directives.

Snow-Calculator.com reserves the right to block abusive automated traffic or other activity that threatens website performance, security, availability, or third-party service limits.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original website design elements, written content, calculator logic, branding, graphics, and other original material created specifically for Snow-Calculator.com are owned by or licensed to Snow-Calculator.com.

Third-party weather information, geographic information, trademarks, names, logos, and other external materials remain the property of their respective owners.

You may view and use publicly available website content for ordinary personal and informational purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute, copy substantial portions of the website, or present Snow-Calculator.com content or calculator functionality as your own without appropriate permission, except where applicable law permits such use.

Sharing a link to Snow-Calculator.com or sharing a calculator result through the website’s sharing tools is permitted and encouraged.

Accuracy and Availability

Reasonable efforts are made to keep Snow-Calculator.com useful, functional, and accurate. However, the website is provided on an “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, continuous availability of third-party weather data, compatibility with every device or browser, or that all information will remain unchanged.

Features may be modified, improved, removed, temporarily unavailable, or replaced as the website develops.

No Guaranteed Prediction Accuracy

Snow-Calculator.com does not guarantee that calculator results will match actual school decisions.

Weather forecasts may change, and school districts consider local information that an online calculator may not have access to. These considerations can include road conditions, bus routes, staffing, building conditions, transportation availability, snow-removal progress, and other operational factors.

The website does not claim a fixed prediction accuracy percentage unless such a claim is supported by sufficient documented real-world testing.

Users should therefore treat every percentage shown by the calculator as an estimate rather than a promise or guarantee.

Third-Party Services

Snow-Calculator.com depends on independent third-party services for certain functions, including weather data, geographic location information, website hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and social-sharing functionality.

These third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy policies, service limitations, and availability requirements.

Snow-Calculator.com is not responsible for changes, interruptions, inaccuracies, policies, or actions of independent third-party providers.

External Links

The website may contain links to government agencies, weather services, schools, school districts, social networks, or other independent websites.

External links are provided for convenience or reference. Snow-Calculator.com does not control these websites and does not guarantee their content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices.

When you visit another website, the terms and policies of that website apply.

Advertising

Snow-Calculator.com may display advertising or work with advertising providers to help support the cost of operating and maintaining the website.

The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean Snow-Calculator.com recommends, guarantees, or endorses the advertiser, product, or service.

Any purchase, agreement, communication, or transaction between a visitor and an advertiser is between those parties.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Snow-Calculator.com and its owner, developer, authors, contributors, or service providers will not be responsible for losses, damages, expenses, missed obligations, inconvenience, or other consequences resulting from use of or reliance on the website, calculator results, weather information, third-party data, technical failures, unavailable services, or differences between a prediction and an actual school decision.

You remain responsible for independently verifying important information and making your own decisions.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any responsibility that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

Changes to the Website

Snow-Calculator.com may modify its calculator, prediction logic, data sources, website structure, articles, features, design, or other elements when changes are considered useful for accuracy, reliability, transparency, security, performance, or user experience.

We are not required to maintain every feature indefinitely or provide advance notice of routine technical or content changes.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Service may be updated when website functionality changes, new services are introduced, third-party providers change, legal requirements change, or clarification is needed.

The current version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Continued use of Snow-Calculator.com after changes are published means you are using the website subject to the current Terms of Service.
