snow days
Winter school closures
Snow days are days when schools close due to heavy snowfall or dangerous winter weather conditions.
Children celebrate them as unexpected holidays; adults may face work complications.
The term evokes nostalgia for childhood winters spent sledding instead of studying: We're hoping for a snow day tomorrow.
Climate change and remote learning have made traditional snow days increasingly rare.
