Virginia Snow Day Calculator

Virginia winter weather varies dramatically across the state. Across the 12 Virginia cities covered by SnowSense™, average annual snowfall is 11 inches, ranging from 5 inches in Virginia Beach to 20 inches in Charlottesville.

School-closure thresholds track the regional snowfall climatology: districts in high-snowfall areas close only for major events, while low-snowfall districts close for smaller events that would be unremarkable elsewhere. Virginia's district-level autonomy means nearby towns sometimes make different closure calls for the same storm.

Pick a city above for a live snow day probability specific to that location. Each Virginia city's probability refreshes every 30 minutes with the latest forecast data.
