It just takes a few really good lawsuits from parents of kids with broken
arms
who were fooling around on the snow/ice at the bus stop to make the
districts
close at the drop of a hat (or forecast).

OR, having a lawsuit from the parents of the newly licensed driver(who has
never driven on snow), sliding off the road, into a telephone pole, or tree.
(or off an un-guard-railed side of the mountain) I believe that is one of
the biggest motivators, in my area.
