Minnesota snow day questions
Will schools in Minnesota be closed tomorrow?
Enter your ZIP code above for your district's chance of a closure or delay tomorrow, or pick a city below. Each district decides for itself; the calculator estimates the chance from tonight's National Weather Service forecast and updates hourly from the afternoon until morning.
How much snow falls in Minnesota?
It depends a lot on where you are: average yearly snowfall across Minnesota ranges from 32 to 94 inches (NOAA 1991–2020 normals at weather stations near 880 ZIP codes). Among the largest places, Duluth averages 56 inches.
How much snow closes schools in Minnesota?
It varies by district and by how often each area gets snow. In the snowiest parts of Minnesota, closures usually take several inches overnight; in places that rarely see snow, an inch or two can close schools. The calculator scales each storm by the local NOAA normal for your ZIP.
