When I went, they had just started bussing.  IMHO, the necessity to have
more busses on the road, and more kids being sent further away from home
than they had been, lead to more snow days, even though the weather was
supposedly milder in the 1970's-'80's, on average, than before.  Granted,
there were two really bad winters in my early school years.  :)

As a young kid, before I learned that, I remember being confused when we'd
have river flooding and it had not rained in days.  That, of course, was
why.
