How This Works

Our closure recommendation algorithm considers multiple weather factors:

  • Wind Chill: Below -25°F triggers caution, below -35°F likely closure
  • Snowfall: 4-6" triggers caution, 8"+ likely closure
  • Visibility: Under 1/4 mile indicates dangerous travel
  • Active Warnings: Blizzard, Winter Storm warnings heavily weighted
  • Wind Speed: Sustained 35+ mph with snow creates blizzard conditions
  • ND DOT Road Conditions: Red (poor) roads and No Travel Advisories heavily weighted
  • Reported Closures: Community-reported closures indicate developing situation

This is a recommendation tool only. Always check with your school district or employer for official closure announcements.
