Field notes

Visitors can adjust a local setting for how much snow their district usually handles, with examples ranging from a dusting to a district that almost never closes. The page explains that overnight snow counts more heavily than snow that stops early, when plows have time to work. It also links to a delay calculator, a cold-day calculator, and a manual calculator for trying different inputs.
