Im near Toronto Canada, last year, we didnt have a single snow day. Which sucks. This year, in the past 2 weeks, we've missed a total of 5 days of school.

Today was a snow day actually.
Really? In Waterloo neither high school or elementary schools have been closed to my knowledge.
The university never closes.
Keyword in this situation is near
Technically part of simcoe/ muskoka area
So snow belt then? That would make more sense. I thought you meant Mississauga.
I want to go to Playdium now. Thanks.
But yes Snow Belt.

The people around me are retarded. They don't close the schools even if the people who live far away can't even drive around. They only cancel school if they cannot get to the main office which is MILES away from where I live.

I'll be honest, I have never experienced that the schools have had to close because of snow where I live, Norway, even though we do get lots of snow.
This, there can be -20 degrees and alot of snow but the schools wont be closed.

Columbus Ohio here, it seems totally random at times here

One day we closed because of the threat of severe snow around noon, kids got off, then no snow awesome

Other times when it gets too cold for children to stand outside and wait for the bus we close, normally if the wind chill is below -15

but normally its because the plows are unable to attend to the main roads enough to make them safe ie 4-6 inches overnight etc.

I don't the schools would shut down with less than a meter of snow over here(Netherlands), But seeing how the railway system crashes with 2cm of snow, I doubt I'd make it to college anywhays. Right now half the country's stuck in traffic jams. Lol.

I live in the UK and we've had some terrible snow this year that caused loads of schools to close - which was surprising because normally we would still have gone in anyway, but none of the teachers could get into school, so they closed it. My school's attitude is 'as long as there's teachers to teach and students to learn, the school is open!!'.

More likely to have schools shut down because it's too hot .... I think that if the closed temperature get to 42 or 43 degrees (celcius)I think the parents are notified and kids shipped home.

I think that's how it works ... though I'm not sure.

In England we're kind of bitches about the snow, practically everything closes down not just the schools, and people panic buy all the bread, it's kind of silly.

I live in New Brunswick, Canada. So yea, we do enjoy healthy amounts of snow every winter. Sometimes they have to cancel schools and some other public facilities, but it is not directly depends on the amount of snow, but more with how fast that snow falls. Basically if it falls faster then they can clean the roads, so that public busses can?t get everywhere they suppose to, then they close schools, and etc. Otherwise life is good:

I live in a little swamphole in the Willamette valley. It snows for a grand-total of 3 days a year, at least over the past 20 years or so. A couple of days before Thanksgiving we got maybe a quarter inch of snow and I don't know about the rest of the local government, but all the schools shut down. It came in overnight and was gone by mid-afternoon. Considering they didn't get gravel/salt on any of the roads until it was halfway melted though I guess it was a good call.

Is that a subtle reference to Pandemic?

Around here, the authorities usually go mad when an inch of snow falls. Two weeks ago was one of the only times I think they were justified in shutting schools. I didn't enjoy a week off of work though, because I didn't get paid =(.
