Not in my district, there has to be snow coming into the halls through the ceiling tiles for them to cancel school.

Here in Georgia they frequently close schools when there is just a threat, or forecast, of snow. They don't even wait for when (or IF) it falls.

We do have daily accidents here in Norway, several in fact. but mostly light damage. Oh an Norwegian road is usually: A road - 1 to 6 cm with ice - and a lot of new snow. But we don't close the road. we have solution to hove we handle this:

Tires: we have in Norway is much better in rest of Europa (EU wan'ted Norway to use a EU tire system, but those tires is almost summer tire here in Norway)

road: In northern Norway are we using either salt brine or sand and salt (the theory behind salt and sand is that salt melts ice, the sand mix in to the ice-water and when the water freezes, you get a rough ice with a surface almost equal to asphalt.)

South Norway using mostly gravel and sand, but it is not so extreme weather in south Norway as in North Norway. (There are areas in the south of Norway, which can reach temperatures of about -20 to -30 degrees C. While in Northern Norway is the coldest temperature of -56 degrees C (official), The normal at -15 to -20 C

Oh the government do not send out heat or cold Alarm here in Norway, that is up to every local place.
