In 1978, a massive blizzard hit the midwest and closed colleges in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio that had never been closed for weather or had only closed a coiple of times. Though it would be hard to find a list of the schools that were closed because of the blizzard, it is safe to assume any school in the area of the blizzard was closed for at least a week, maybe longer.
Most snow for a season = 107.6" (1995-1996) Most snow in 1 day = 27.5" (2/17/2003) Most snow in 2 days = 29.1" (2/17/2003 - 2/18/2003, "President's Day Snowstorm") Average snowfall per year = 41.3" although feb 2003, pd II is listed as 27.3 , it has been noted that this value was a result of innaccurate measurements ( standard to measure snowfall in 6 hr increments, clearing a board of snow at the end of a 6 hr period, all 6 hour snow measurements added to get total snowfall total). Also the blizz of 78 value reflects the snow depth at the end of the storm indicating that there easily could have been more than 27.1" if proper measurement techniques were taken)
