A map of ​how much snow it takes to cancel school across the U.S.

A map of ​how much snow it takes to cancel school across the U.S. "Redditor atrubetskoy made this map by using a combination of local news reports, a survey, and average snowfall levels from NOAA maps to make an approximation of the differing levels of snow it takes to call off school. While the map is based on hundreds of data points, it is by no means considered to be 100% accurate, as atrubetskoy explains himself."

I am too lazy to do it but a comparison of these values vs. the number of times a year that each county gets that amount of snow during the school year would be interesting. Is the level at which they close school predictable by the number of snow days they will tolerate and then you just look up the frequency of snow events. That might be easier than going to the detailed level of how many snow plows anybody has.
