That's because you're in Ohio.

Up here in northeast Illinois we still have school even when it gets down to -10 (like today).

The schools here close if we get a lot of snow and the plows can't kkep up with it.

North of us I don't think they ever close their schools. They send out snowmobiles instead of school buses. Heehee...

Uh, up here in northeast Ohio it gets cold and snows, too. More than any part of Illinois. Average snowfall in Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) runs from 40 in the far west to 60 inches downtown to 80 farther east. Over 100 inches average next county over. Last year we had 101 inches on the west side (much more to the east). Then there is Erie, PA that averages about 150.

This is the second time (first was -50 winchill for 2 days around 1995) in my life schools here have been closed due to cold. I don't really know why, but once the avalanche of closings started, everyone got carried away with it.
