Look out your frosty window and if you see an accumulation of crystallized water then it is certainly a snowy day!

At what time of day does snow usually fall?

There is no preference at all for time of day.


Why isn't there a snow day today?

There may not be a snow day today due to factors such as light snowfall, roads being clear, or schools and workplaces having systems in place to operate safely during winter weather conditions. Decision to call a snow day is usually based on the safety of students, staff, and commuters.


Is there a better chance of snow during the day or night?

Snow is more likely to occur at night, especially during the early morning hours. This is because nighttime temperatures are typically colder, which is conducive to snow formation and accumulation. However, snow can still fall during the day if conditions are right.


Ways to get a snow day?

The most common way to get a snow day is for schools or workplaces to close due to severe weather conditions, including heavy snowfall or dangerous road conditions. It is ultimately up to the institution or employer to decide if it is safe to operate. Another way could be to petition or request for a snow day if significant snow is expected, although this may not always be successful.


How many inches of snow do you need to have a snow day?

Weather that qualifies for a snow day is generally when the roads are too dangerous for travel. In the US, schools located in the south (south of the Ohio River) might close for as little as half an inch of snow, while schools in west Michigan, the Lake Ontario shore line of Pennsylvania and New York might not close for six inches of snow or more. It depends too on how close to school opening times the snow falls. If it has to have snowed enough to block some main roads, or block most of the school or the roads around it, then school will probably be canceled. The ability of plows to keep up with snow, and people to drive in it, also varies greatly regionally.
