Winter weather in Anchorage
Anchorage operates through long, dark, snowy winters, and its schools stay open in conditions that would close districts almost anywhere in the Lower 48. Closures tend to follow unusual events such as very heavy wet snow, ice, or damaging wind.
Chugach Mountain winds can be strong on the east side of the city, and the Hillside neighborhoods are colder and snowier than areas near Cook Inlet.

Frequently asked questions
Is Anchorage School District closed tomorrow?
SnowCall cannot tell you whether school is closed — only the district can. The estimate above is a forecast-based probability. For official closures and delays, check asdk12.org, the district's alert system, or local news.
How much snow does it take to close Anchorage School District?
There is no published snowfall number. The model treats Anchorage as a "deep-winter climate" area, where about 9" of overnight snow, 0.2" of ice, or a morning wind chill near -35°F makes a closure roughly a coin flip. Timing, temperature and wind can move that a lot.
Where does this forecast come from?
Hourly data from Open-Meteo for Anchorage (61.22, -149.90), four global weather models, and the National Weather Service's gridded snow and ice forecast and alerts.
