Ever woken up wondering: “Will school be closed today because of snow?”
I did — and that’s why I built the Snow Days Calculator.
This simple app estimates the chance of a snow day based on live weather data and historical snowfall records.
It works for users in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia — and it's totally free.
🚀 What is Snow Days Calculator?
Snow Days Calculator is a lightweight tool and Chrome extension that helps students, parents, and educators check the likelihood of school closures due to snow.
No more manually checking forecasts or guessing.

🛠️ How It Works (Tech Stack)
I wanted to keep this light and fast, especially for students on mobile.
- ⚛️ React (Vite)

🧪 Sample Use Case
Say you live in Buffalo, NY or Calgary, Canada and snow is predicted tonight.
You open the app, enter your ZIP/postal code — and boom: It gives you a percentage score based on local snow forecasts and past data.
It’s quick, accurate (within limits), and updated in real time.

I plan to add:

I’d love to hear from early users and developers alike.

Let’s make snow day guessing a thing of the past!
Thanks for reading! 🙌
