How often do you get snow days? And what volume of snow does it take?

Blizzards here can last for 4-5 days, non stop. Visibility is zero for that time and it doesn't clear up. I know in Newfoundland when there is a blizzard the wind gusts but here it rips at 100KM without hesitation. January is our worst month for blizzards. In total this year we have missed maybe 9 days for weather.
Blowing snow is the biggest problem and is the reason school is canceled. No one goes out becuase you can't see a thing. It would be dangerous to drive in and it would be very easy to get lost. We also have drifting problems so it is no trouble for us to get a 10 foot drift in the middle of the street.
