People thought school was going to be closed for 5-10 cm? That's like... Nothing. Where exactly is this?
You'd be surprised at the number of places where practically everything shuts down when there's
any sign of snow.

My high school would close at 2~3 inches. Mostly 'cause people aren't 'prepared' for snow, so they just cancel at the lightest flurry.

/looks outside window and sees snow clumps the size of Ping Pong balls falling
Yeaaaa... There's nothing wrong with that, especially if you consider that it's going to be in the 80's this weekend. >.>

@Chiri ~ mine to. One time during the blizzard not too long ago, the school had no delays or cancellations and it was snowing hardcore. Buses got stuck, and some even got into a crash and it took the Principal getting stuck in traffic to cancel school. Uh..... dumb-asses running my school I swear. All the buses were lined up on the side of the road wherever they were and when I got to school (finally) they herded us all in the gym only to send us home 15 minutes later.

It barely snowed at all this year, for me.
We only got about 5 centimeters.. which is absolute nothing.
A year ago I had to trudge to school in about 50 centimeters. We all thought it was going to be canceled, but our schoolboard is a pathetic slave driver.

I envy you guys that have school closed at a sign of snow. It doesn't close here unless there's 3 feet or more. Heck, a couple years ago there was 2-3 feet on the ground and none of the sidewalks were plowed, and this went on for a week without school canceled. All week you'd see kids walking in the streets, but heck, it's Ohio, so why should we get school canceled? It's not like anyone's going to die... ._.
Also, these centimeters are confusing me. Illogical units of measurement pleash D:

Centimeters make more sense than inches.
They're in values of 10, 100, and so on.
Not 12, some other number, and some other number that is hard to calculate and horrible to remember.

I know that's why I was saying "pleash use illogical units of measurement so us odd Americans can understand it." xD; Oh 50 cm = 1.5 feet...

Hm, my high school was in Ohio and they seemed to cancel all the time. And it was weird, because they'd usually cancel ~10min before class started, so everyone was already there, and had to go back into the weather.
