RE: Snow days...
I hear ya TX, sure takes alot to close our schools too, (24" or more, and still coming down). Basically it comes down to whether or not the fire exits get cleared. As for the windchill, if it is too cold, kids have indoor recess.
For the school busses on slippery streets, they are equiped with these jobbies

Last year it took 0 inches. The temp dipped into single digits and lower, and the new, low sulphur diesel fuel gelled in all the buses and they had to cancel school when they wouldn't start.
Took this after dropping the kids off at daycare:

Good question, here in Green Bay, WI they don't close them when you think they should or even worse send them to school then let them go early in the the thick of it (makes no sense to me) but then they close them and you wonder what the heck they close them for?

RE: Snow days...
I guess if the snow plows can't keep up they delay it 2 hours. If the storm keeps going and gets to be measured in feet then schools will close. Only one time did they cancel because of cold, temps -50 with windchill factors in -80 or less. It was damn cold. you could spit and it would be ice before it hit the ground.

RE: Snow days...
Itâs not so much how much snow as how fast it falls around here. If they can clear the roads then the kids are in school. If it falls too fast to clear the roads then they will keep them home a day to clear the roads. Snow days usually happen about once a season around here.Two hour delays in the morning are far more common.
