Does your child have school today or want a snow day tomorrow? We asked on Lake Country Family Fun’s Facebook page for readers to check out the snow day calculator and see what the percentage was if their school (zip code) would close and call a snow day. We loved the responses! It seemed like a snow day would in fact happen! Did your school agree? Find out below through our handy links in our Waukesha County Area School Closings Guide.
