From what I recall from friends in that area the Schools have a certain
number of "snow days" built into the school year in the expectation that
there will be some disruption during the winter. Not sure what happens
if they don't use them all though.

ISTR that schools in the US are bound by law to be open for a certain number of
days per year. If they lose days due to the weather, and it can happen in the
summer as well if the heat is deemed excessive, they must take days from the
school vacation period to make the time up.

Workers who fail to get into work can also lose pay if they don't make it up by
working extra hours, although I guess that would apply here in the private
sector.
