I can only remember one time when my school was closed due to the
weather...1987 for an entire week. But then the temperatures and snow
did warrant it and the toilet pans in the outside loo block did all
crack from the ice that formed.

My school never closed for a single day during the winter of 1962-3,
though admittedly the worst of the snow was during the Christmas
holidays. In my whole school career, I think there was only one day when
snow prevented me from getting to school (and that was in early March
one year).
