Intelligence Behind the Storm

Fusing high-fidelity meteorological data with regional decision logic.

Our Story & Mission

“Will school be cancelled tomorrow?”

It's a question of safety, logistics, and anticipation. SnowSense™ was engineered to replace anecdotal guesswork with a high-performance prediction system that models the complex interplay of atmospheric conditions and local infrastructure.

Real-Time Analysis

We ingest live Open-Meteo forecast updates throughout the day — drawing on NOAA and ECMWF models — to capture rapid atmospheric shifts.

Dynamic Logic

Our algorithm adjusts probability based on regional infrastructure—6 inches in Maine is a Tuesday; in Texas, it's a shutdown.

Safety First

We prioritize ice risk and wind chill factors, which are often more dangerous for bus routes than pure snowfall.

Probability Engine

We use cumulative distribution modeling to provide a nuanced percentage, not just a binary yes or no.

Our Data Strategy

Open Source, Open Data

We leverage public meteorological datasets to ensure transparency. Our history is rooted in providing accessible intelligence for students, parents, and educators.

What We Do

SnowSense™ delivers four core services for parents, students, and school administrators — engineered as a single, fast, free-to-use platform:

Real-Time Predictions

Live probability scores updated every 30 minutes from Open-Meteo, which aggregates NOAA (HRRR/GFS) and ECMWF forecast models.

City-Specific Modeling

City and district forecast pages with regional tolerance calibration — no one-size-fits-all forecasts.

Forecast Updates

Fresh prediction pages and forecast context designed to help families check conditions quickly.

Educational Content

Deep-dive guides explaining the weather science and decision frameworks behind every closure.

Trusted Sources

Publicly Sourced, Methodology Driven

SnowSense™ uses public weather data and explains the major signals behind each forecast. We focus on transparent inputs and regional context rather than promising perfect accuracy or official closure authority.
