We're a team of meteorologists, data scientists, and education professionals passionate about providing accurate snow day predictions to help students, parents, and educators plan ahead.

Snowy school day

Our Story

The Xufel Snow Day Calculator was born out of necessity during the particularly harsh winter of 2019. Our founder, Dr. Alex Chen, a meteorologist and parent of three school-aged children, found himself constantly fielding questions from neighbors about whether schools would close due to impending snowstorms.

Realizing there was no reliable tool that combined meteorological data with school district closure patterns, Dr. Chen began developing an algorithm that could accurately predict the likelihood of snow days. What started as a simple spreadsheet quickly evolved into a sophisticated prediction model as fellow parents, teachers, and school administrators provided feedback and historical closure data.

By 2020, the Xufel Snow Day Calculator had grown from a local tool used by a few dozen families to a nationwide resource trusted by hundreds of thousands of users. Today, our team continues to refine our algorithms and expand our services, always with the goal of providing the most accurate and user-friendly snow day predictions possible.
