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.
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.

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.

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 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.

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

Greetings from Finland!
When I look out of the window I see snow.
No schools are closed. Ever.
Of course, just like in Sweden, public transport is delayed a little, that's all there is to it actually.
When I was a kid and still in the elementary, and it had snowed in, all it meant was "bring skis". Snow in here changes nothing but the P.E classes.

Last year we had 75 centimetres of snow, which is about 30 inches of snow or two and a half feet if you want.
We also had -12 degrees Celsius which is about 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
Schools were not closed.
We've had hurricanes.
Schools were not closed.
So far this year, we've got 15 centimetres of snow (6 inches) and -6 degrees celsius.
