The sign above answers for Sherbrooke from the current forecast: the chance of a closure, the chance of a late start, and the snow hour by hour through the night. It is for the center of town. Schools at the edge of a district, or at a different elevation, can see different weather, so enter your own postal code if you live further out.
How much snow closes school in Sherbrooke
The calculator starts Sherbrooke at the Quebec setting, "almost never closes": about 23 cm of snow overnight, or a morning wind chill near -37°C, makes closing a coin flip. That is a starting point for the whole province, and it is our judgement, not a record of what Sherbrooke's schools have done. Change the setting under the sign if you know the district closes more or less readily.
| Snow | Closed | Late start instead |
|---|---|---|
| 5.1 cm | 4% | 4% |
| 10 cm | 10% | 17% |
| 15 cm | 21% | 42% |
| 25 cm | 61% | 36% |
