OFFICIAL SNOW DAYS (Schools closed due to snow):
- Alaska: (599 schools) Snow days extremely rare. They only close when the temperature is below -40°C.
- Australia: Each district has an official quota of snow days in their school calendars. Additional days can be designated by the state as snow days if blizzard conditions warrant it.
- Hawaii: (283 public schools) Warm tropical weather throughout the year. There is snow on the highest mountains, but no 'snow days'.
- India: Generally free of snow, except in mountain regions e.g. Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand. In extreme cold weather conditions which create thick fog some schools are officially closed by order of the relevant district (government) office. But in places where temperatures can exceed 40°C for several weeks, schools are more likely to close due to heat-waves rather than snow.
- Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland): Snow is normal, and life goes on. Snow days very rare. But on these rare occasions, it can get very cold (-51°C or colder), and schools close.
- UK: Snow days are rare. But in very severe weather conditions (snow/ice) many, if not all, schools close because snow/ice makes many non-trunk roads impassable or unsafe.
- USA: Snow days vary from state to state. In the mid-west, many schools have to close in harsh snow conditions (rare). In southern states snow days are very rare.
- Zimbabwe: No snow days.

Why should they close schools down?
It depends on the reason the school would be closed. If there are dangerous road conditions, like ice and snow, yes, they should be closed. If there is a natural disaster and they need to close, they should be closed. If enrollment has dropped and two schools could be combined, one should be closed permanently. If the building is old and upkeep and maintenance is more expensive than building a new school, the old building should be closed permanently.
