How many inches of snow do you need to have a snow day?
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.
