Because of snow day or other water, detect if MICDS is closed:

We could add our own alerts (mobile app?) or replace snowday calculator for this information. We can also store snowdays in a database if we want to ever make our own snowday calculator algorithm.

Could we scrap the MICDS website for the widget the appears when school is closed or a late start/early dismissal has been issued.

We could also check the @micds Twitter account since they usually post about cancellations, which would have the added advantage of not requiring any scraping since we could use the Twitter API.
