Dix Hills is a smaller community of about 26,892 people that sits across the northern mid-latitudes, near 40.8°N in New York. A winter here typically brings roughly 60 to 120+ inches a winter.

The percentage at the top of this page isn't a static guess — it's rebuilt each night from Dix Hills's own Open-Meteo forecast. The model reads seven signals from the overnight-into-morning window: total snowfall, whether any of it is timed for the 2–6 a.m. commute, freezing rain or sleet, the coldest air temperature, the wind chill, the peak wind, and how much snow is already on the ground. Districts here are snow-hardened, so it usually takes about 6"+ overnight, a coating of ice, or dangerous wind chill to cancel outright. A 2-hour delay is common for a 2–4" event or a slow morning plow.
Because a 2-hour delay clears a lower bar than an outright cancellation, you'll often see delay odds for Dix Hills even when the closure odds stay modest — that gap is the model flagging a borderline morning. The estimate shifts as the forecast firms up overnight, so it's worth re-checking Dix Hills's odds the evening before school. Treat it as a well-informed second opinion for planning, never as an official New York closing announcement.
