I think in NYS there is actually some law (there's a law for everything here) that says if it's below a certain wind chill/temp the public schools must close. Not sure what that temp is though, seems like 20 but I think it's more closely correlated with the Wind chill since the kids have to stand out waiting for the bus.

When it comes to snow, we need like 2+ ft to get any real closures. This is Western New York after all, we're used to some snow :-)

I'm not sure if it's a law here in Ohio, but our district's policy is to close if it is -5 or less windchill.
