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).

Back at high school in Leeds in the early 80's I could usually
count on at least one day a year when the schools were closed.
However the school was right at the highest part of the city and
thus pretty exposed and conditions had to be fairly severe for
it to happen.
