It is possible, but not likely. New York is a northern state that is well prepared for much more snow than 1 to 2 inches. It would probably take much more snow than that for schools to need to close.
yes school CAN definitely close with 8 inches of snow
In New York it will snow about 2-4 inches on Friday. We all will have to go to school -_-
Weather that qualifies for a snow day is generally when the roads are too dangerous for travel. In the US, schools located in the south (south of the Ohio River) might close for as little as half an inch of snow, while schools in west Michigan, the Lake Ontario shore line of Pennsylvania and New York might not close for six inches of snow or more. It depends too on how close to school opening times the snow falls. If it has to have snowed enough to block some main roads, or block most of the school or the roads around it, then school will probably be canceled. The ability of plows to keep up with snow, and people to drive in it, also varies greatly regionally.
The amount of snow that would cause schools to close varies in different areas. A northern area that is prepared to clear snow off the roads might not close schools at all unless several feet of snow fell, and maybe not even then. In areas that are not as well prepared, a few inches of snow might result in schools closing if road conditions were bad or expected to become slick and hazardous.
11.4 inches
New York City averages less than an inch of snow in April. It often does not snow at all, but some years can pick up several inches of snow in the early part of the month.
March 29, 1970 - 4 inches of snow fell that day in NYC
Schools close for snow days because the roads become slick and hazardous. They want students to be safe, so they close.
In the UK, it is chiefly up to your headteacher to decide, they look at how many staff can get in , conditions of roads and student safety. I'd say a good 4 inches of snow would be enough to temporarily close a school. In the US, the amount of snow it would take to close city schools would depend on where the city is located and how well they are prepared to deal with wintery weather conditions. Some cities do not close school for snow at all.
Converses are conditionals with the antecedent and consequent swapped. Example: "If it snows tonight, they will close school," and, "If they will close school, it will snow tonight."
Central Park recorded 41.0 inches in the winter of 2004-'05.
yes it actually snows at least 6 inches at the most
