Advanced: adjust the forecast

NLSchools is the provincial public school authority, and the Department of Education publishes its own site. We link both. We do not keep a separate page for St. John's yet; the forecast loaded here is for the city, using the provincial default of high snow tolerance and standard cold sensitivity. People in St. John's are used to a lot of snow. Wind and a changeover to ice are what usually complicate the morning.
Labrador is not St. John's. A postal-code search is the honest way to score a Labrador community, and the high snow tolerance may be a rough fit. The methodology page says when the default is a compromise. If we add a city later, that one entry can carry its own snow and cold settings.
The score still caps at 97. A forecast is not a guarantee, and neither NLSchools nor this website is obliged to match the other.

Questions parents ask
Is the old English school district still the place to look?
Use NLSchools and the Department of Education links on this page. We do not send families to a retired district domain.
Why is the snow tolerance high?
The provincial default assumes communities that routinely operate through heavy snow. The same 10 cm therefore adds fewer points than it would on the B.C. south coast. Ice and extreme wind are not discounted the same way.
