For many Greater Akron school districts, it has been quite the drought of snow days. A lot of factors go into the decision-making of whether to cancel school including what some students suspect is the grumpiness of the superintendent. A lot of times it comes down to timing and what the road conditions are in the hours just before the morning commute and the forecast for the rest of the day.

There's even a snow day calculator out there including this one www.snowdaycalculator.com/calculator that factors in the forecast and historical likelihood of snow days.
