Wait for it... wait for it... wait for it..... CLOSE EVERYTHING!!!

We're having an unusually cold winter right now with about half a foot of snow and temperatures in the -15 C area (normal around now is an inch or two of snow and around 0 degrees). School stays open always. If there's a blizzard they tell you to stop whining and just dress warmer. I don't think I've ever had a snow day.

Living in the UK...The slightest amount of snow may as well put us in a country wide lock down.

I live in Texas, we get snow so rarely that some people react to it like they think the fucking sky is falling.

I think I've gotten out of school maybe twice in twelve years due to snow.

I'm pretty sure we only got about a half-foot of snow both times as well.

Though this reminds me of that blizzard from last year, everyone made makeshift sleds out of garbage bags and cardboard to slide down the hill behind our school since that was the only time in my life that we ever got enough snow to do something like that.

Doesn't snow here.

We get a couple of feet in northern California, but it's [i/]never[/i] predictable. The forecasters said there would be a foot of snow yesterday, today and tomorrow and it was clear and sunny.

Business as usual no matter how much snow is out there, at least at our bit of it - Norway

 

[Jinxd]

i live in england and no matter how mch snow we have they refuse to close unless the heating breaks down.....i went in one time and not only did more then half the class show up neither did half my professors

Arizona. Snow is kind of a rarity here, so I have the feeling that everything gets shut down to silently revel in the fact that we get snow.

 

[Kamikazi1231]

Colorado. We don't tend to close for almost anything. But on a few occasions they have closed down schools for the day with only a little snow for just seems like the hell of it, especially if we haven't gotten much snow that year.

I live in Texas. We don't get snow often but when we do, yeah, schools shut down.

Once, I was coming home and it was cold enough that my hands got effing numb in my gloves. The next day, we hear that the roads have gotten a little icy and our school is closed that day.

 

[SeanTheSheep]

I live in Birmingham, and school closing is left to the discretion of the schools themselves.
The school I teach at decided "We won't close unless the council enacts a blanket closure" even though the school bus service had closed down because the roads were too treacherous. Because of this, I was very nearly involved in an accident when some idiot skidded on black ice. Thanks Dizzy J[footnote]An actual nickname for the head. Not of his choosing of course.[/footnote]

Otherwise, the news just screams that we're all going to die because there isn't enough grit, and everyone else goes along with their daily lives, just wrapped up a bit warmer.

We get so much snow here, school never cancels for that reason. The only time it would be canceled is if it all melted and froze again, creating lots of ice.

When it snows here in Wales, we celebrate and have wild snow orgies.
It's awesome, because i woke up this morning and did that. Not expecting to see all this snow when i woke up!

I live in Stockholm in Sweden and we got snow fucking everywhere but I've never even heard about schools closing in my entire child hood (I'm in my tent year of school) and its never been closed schools for my dad neither who grew up in a colder place (Helsingland) so yeah the schools attitude is "we don't give a shit if its snow everywhere and our shitty trains stopped working GET YOUR ASS TO SCHOOL LIKE A REAL VIKING YOU PUSSY OR YOU WILL BE EATEN BY POLAR BEARS"
so yeah I've never seen any school close and I doubt I ever will.

Aww...Damn it. Ninja'd (kind of).

I live in Sweden to and the amount of snow we get is a shitload of it and it's everywhere. I have not heard about any school to close down because of the snow and to quote the guy i qouted..."GET YOUR ASS TO SCHOOL LIKE A REAL VIKING YOU PUSSY OR YOU WILL BE EATEN BY POLAR BEARS". Ok they didn't really say that but you had to go to school anyways. Regardless of the weather.

Twin Cities, Minnesota reporting in here. Basically, the amount of snow we get is compared to the Halloween Blizzard of 1991 and then we decide whether stuff is closed or not. Just a couple inches? No closing. A few to 6 inches? Maybe two hours late. About a foot? Okay...NOW we'll consider closing.

Snow caved in the Metrodome? The team deflated LONG before the Dome did...

 

[feeback06]

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.

What part exactly? I remember in 2004 when a lot of blizzards hit Lexington, and many lost power. My school was in Boyle County and we closed for the day. It had been my first snow day since elementary school. But we only had an hour delay the next day. Apparently us and 2 schools in Louisville were the only schools open IN THE STATE!!!

 

[DanielBrown]

I live in Stockholm, Sweden. Nothing ever closes down due to snow... The subway however gets delayed like crazy whever it's cold/snowy outside.

 

[mew4ever23]

An inch. Really. You get some snowstorms up here in Canada that leave people stuck and schools stay open.

 

[Dexiro]

Colleges and schools that I've been to never seem to close :c Even if every other school in the area has.

It's great watching TV when there's a big snow storm in England though. Last year everyone on the news was like "AN ENTIRE INCH OF SNOW? IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!" when noone else really gave a damn.
