Here in the Portland area, if the forecast says we might get some sprinkles that won't stick (which is about the "worst" that happens every few years), all the schools close and some businesses do, too.

Quite a contrast to where I grew up - Chicago. Despite the weather there, in my 4 years of HS, my school was only closed one day - when the boiler broke. I'd walk the four blocks to school in snow that was at least 2 feet deep all the time. No biggie.
