Snow Day, the 99-cent snow-day predictor
An iPhone and Apple Watch app that estimates whether the next school morning will be cancelled in Canada or the United States.
Field notes
Snow Day describes a forecast window that starts at 6 PM and ends at the 9 AM school bell, with snow during the 4–9 AM bus run weighted more heavily than earlier accumulation. The page says the score blends two weather models with Canadian and US warning data, then adjusts the result for a selected school board’s cancellation tolerance. It also describes Apple Watch complications, one evening notification, and a fresh check around 5 AM. The stated access model is a single $0.99 purchase with no account or subscription.
