That cancel school chart is not in accord with my observations.

What cancels school around here is an ice storm, not snow.  Snow rarely sticks on the streets.

True but up by us the mail has to be delivered by huskies before they call off school.More often than not if we get close to a foot overnite they will prolly cancel.As the problem isn't getting the streets plowed but safe transportation of children

The colors on that map blend together a little bit. There appear to be more colors in the legend than on the map.

Can a school district close only one or two of their schools? 

I am in a county wide school district. There are six large HSs in the city/suburbs. They are under 3000ft, where it rarely snows. 

In addition to that, there are two tiny HSs out in the boonies. Both of them are over 5000ft where it snows all the time. One of them draws students from a large, mountainous geographic area. That one would obviously require several more snow days than the others.

Yes sometimes pipes freeze in one school but not the others

Why is the global climatic cataclysm of the sixth century virtually unheard of? | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net)


The volcano theory seems plausible to me, but a meteor could also throw up a lot of dust.

I have read some perhaps dubious predictions the Sun will cool soon, akin to the Maunder Minimum.  Maybe CO2 is a good thing?

I suspect we may encounter some irony here.  Maybe.

Interesting read.  I would guess it was a volcanic eruption in the Straight of Sumatra.  It seems it would be a simple thing to locate an ash layer from that time and match the ash to volcano suspects.  I would be surprised if no one is working on it.

An EUV is really not comparable to an SUV in terms of consumer preferences.
