Snow days in the south

I figured out that schools down south have snow mornings too. I wondered how that worked since they do not get snow. A snow day in the north is just a cold day. Not even a entirely cold day either. The temperatures in the south never get that cold. When it hits around 40 degrees, everyone freaks out. The day schools were closed I was outside doing yard work. I can’t suppose how weak southerners are with the cold. When I went to school in the north, a snow day was a severe thing. It usually meant no heating at the school. The snow, wind plus cold sometimes knocks out the power. If the school can’t give heating then there is no school. If the windchill outside is too cold for the kids who walk, there is no school. I have to say that anytime I had no school, I had no heating at the house. My electric regularly was off. My family never bothered with a generator unless it went over a day. Both of us had a whole day with no plumbing, electric or heating. No lights, flushing a toilet, taking a shower plus being cold cold. That is a correct snow day in the north. Those southern kids don’t assume how lucky they have it. I bet those kids went to the movies or just sat by the gas furnace at home. A snow day should also make the kids suffer as well. That is what the school wants right? Honestly, the kids could really play outside comfortably in the south on their snow day. There is just something sort of wrong about that.
