> Then why are schools closed on snow days? I would imagine not in Minnesota? I think this is measure to limit traffic in places where snow is rare occurance a

  You don't have to use your imagination; you have access to the internet. Places with lots of snow every year do close schools. http://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/01/06/school-closure-criteria http://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/01/06/school-closure-crite...

  Nah. From the Midwest and we had a super warm winter. Mostly no snow. First day of 4 inches of snow? Schools closed and 100 car accidents. People forget how to drive in snow.

  Very false. I'm from an area with tons of snow. As I mentioned before we not only got snow days, they were budgeted into the schedule.

    Ok, I misunderstood snow days to mean generally snowy days. I am from north and we have snow many months of the year. I thought if snowy day causes school to shut down it must be in a place where it doesn't snow this often. If snow day means day when school is shut down due to extreme weather it makes sense there are those especially in places with bad wearher. I wish we would have had them here when I was in school.

  Sometimes it just takes long enough to clear the roads that you can't get kids to school on time (or back home on time). They try really hard not to cancel -- I remember as a kid being in a bus that slid backwards down a hill because it just couldn't get the traction. Being a successful northerner involves knowing when to hold and when to fold :)
