Your school, the second you open it.
Pick your school once. Snowlight opens straight to it: closed, late, remote or open, said in plain English, with the weather outside and tomorrow’s chance right underneath.
One number for tomorrow.
Every evening Snowlight works out the chance your school closes tomorrow from the forecast for your school’s own town, when the snow and ice arrive, and how your district has called it before. You see the number and the reasons.
Every closing in the country, on one map.
Each school glows where it is, the moment its closing posts. From 3:30 PM on your school’s clock, the map turns to tomorrow and says so.

Know before you unlock.
An alert with your school’s own logo the moment it closes, widgets on your Lock Screen, and on a storm morning a Live Activity that follows the chance until your school makes the call.
Made for the 5 AM check.
Clear answers, big type and nothing to sign up for, so you can look, know, and go back to sleep.
Plain English
Not codes. The same plain words in the app and in your alerts: “2-hour delay. Buses run snow routes. No breakfast.”
Alerts that know your school
Save up to five schools. Hear when one closes, runs late or goes remote, when tomorrow’s chance gets high, and an evening check if you want it.
This school year
Every school keeps a count of its closed, late and remote days, so you know how many snow days are already used up.
Share the news
Send a clean card to your story or the group chat in one tap, with the day and the time it was posted.
Private by design
Snowlight never collects or stores your location, and a ZIP code works just as well. No ads, no tracking.
Call it before your school does.
A nightly game for snow-day believers. Pick closed or open, keep your streak and beat your friends. The odds come from the forecast, not other players, and flakes are just for fun.

Questions
Is Snowlight free?
Yes. The map, the chance, alerts and the game are free, with no ads.
Where do the closings come from?
From local closing lists, checked every few minutes on school mornings and evenings. Your school’s own announcement is always the final word.
How is the chance worked out?
From the forecast for your school’s town: how much snow and ice, when it falls, how cold the morning is, and how your district has decided before.
Is my school covered?
All 118,211 public and private schools in the US are on the map. A closing shows as soon as a list we read posts it.
Do you track my location?
No. We never collect your location. If you let Snowlight use it, your iPhone uses it to find schools near you, and we never receive or store it.
