The criteria for enacting a snow day is primarily the result of the inability of vehicular transportation, as in the inability of school buses to make their routes.
Snow days, in some communities are very rare (often one or less occurring every year), usually due to infrequency of snow (the community need not be prepared) or extreme frequency of snow (the community is fully prepared and even large amounts of snow rarely present a serious problem).

Snow Plow Man is one gnarly nefarian -- a gross, grouchy, ugly, insidious doofus played with pernicious aplomb by the habitually grating Elliott ("Cabin Boy," "There's Something About Mary").
