Arlington fuckin' County.
That's all you need to know.
Strict as hell, even when half the busses don't show up...
I had my dad come pick me up from school today, because as the snow was falling, we didn't get an early release announcement. Instead, at the end of the day, we were informed that the busses would arrive half an hour to an hour late, and we were to stay at school and wait for our route numbers to be called out before going outside.
I really don't want to board a bus tomorrow, and I know school will be open. Too bad I have no other way of getting there, so I guess I have no other choice...

i live in Hamilton (southern ontario) and the Hamilton board specifically has an annoying habit of being really fussy about closing schools -_-
it doesn't matter if all the other boards around us are totally closed, hamilton does not. I swear the halton board which is RIGHT BESIDE US closes for everything. it's quite annoying.
my theory is that the pollution from all the factories melts the snow so we get less

Very very very rarely. Or at least my school barely does. We have some neighbors who will shut down school if 3 inches of snow falls. In the mean time, I have to wait for the bus in about 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Well, I live in charleston, South carolina (darn my broken c key for making my posts look bad). Snow is extremely rare. I'm 23 and have only seen three here in my lifetime. One was very early this year (February, I think) and it kind of had a shut down effect. Very few people were driving, and I don't even think we had salt to put on the roads. I guess since snow is so rare, it makes little financial sense to have a bunch of preparations on standby. Schools closed until it cleared out, churches cancelled their services, and many businesses closed as well.
Considering I live within the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota (or Minne-snow-ta, as some like to jokingly call us), I have to scoff at the reactions of the OP's local authorities. Last Saturday we got around 2-3 feet of snow, and while some districts in the area were closed on Monday, my district and school were open as if nothing happened.
Basically, around here there has to be a fuckton of snow during a weekday for schools to close. Otherwise, we continue with only minor delays here and there in terms of busing and traffic.

I live in Houston and last year we got snow and society crumbled as WE KNOW IT!
...at least in my point of view

Where I'm from you don't cancel school because of snow. You walk through 8 inches and get into class with your knees bleeding if you have too. We're a tough bunch, none of this poncy 'rest of England half an inch hault everything' BS. Bloody southeren faries.
Northern Kentucky here. Our particular school district is about ten different kinds of stupid. If there's a light dusting of snow and no one around us is canceling school, you bet your ass we're going to be unique little snowflakes (pun totally intended) and cancel. But if everyone around us is out because we got 4-6 inches of snow and there are wrecks and everything bad is happening, whelp, too bad, school day for you.
I hate Kentucky.

Where I live, we never get snow. We have so much ran that it turns to ice instead. Except this year when we FINALLY got snow. But it's mostly rain. We get snow maybe for a maximum of 3 days worth. This year though, we've had at least a weeks worth though.
In the upper midwest we refer to snow as well.... snow. Yeah, we only close down things if theres about 2-3 feet.
As someone else said, here in the UK it depends. The town I live in always seems to get the least of the bad weather, possibly because it's central, possibly because it's in a valley so we're lower down. The other week when most of the UK was covered, our streets were clear...bloody weather.
I do have to drive to Carlisle Christmas eve which should be fun if the weather forecast is accurate. That's a journey of around 230 miles. Motorway nearly all the way there, but when you get to the border with Scotland it's all hills and single lane national limit roads, hoorah!

Pretty much this, same area and same situation. They freak out over an inch of snow but then other days we'll get a ton of snow and everywhere else will be closed but our schools are open.WorldCritic said:
