My kids have had maybe 3 in our entire primary school experience (7 years now). I had a few as a kid but it wasn't because of the snow, it was because if it got too cold the school's ancient coal-fired heating system couldn't keep up and they had to send us home because the classrooms were freezing
.
We also once got a week off because there was a minor fire in the school and, as this was before the days of fire doors/keeping fire doors shut, all the classrooms were open and got coated in a fine layer of soot, and as it was deemed that it could be hazardous to asthmatics etc, they had to get the whole place scrubbed down. Lolz.
