Will Alisal Union have a snow day?

How much snow it takes here

San Benito County averages 0.1 inches of snow a year, and its average winter temperature is 48.7°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals). Schools in places like this typically close at less than an inch of snow, sooner if there is ice or the snow falls during the morning commute.
