Field notes
The homepage describes an hourly pipeline drawing on NOAA snow, ice and cold forecasts, existing snowpack, and National Weather Service alerts, then adjusting for local snowfall rarity, bus routes, and district closure history. Its scorecard reports that Kentucky was checked across 15 winters and 101,632 school mornings, with a closed morning receiving higher odds than an open one 91% of the time; most other states are still labeled beta.
