Snow days and nannies

I got my first snow day in the game today. The kids all got the day off school. Mother was on a 10 to 5 work schedule, so there was no nanny in the house when mum went to work. Fortunately one of the kids was a teen, as the nanny didn't turn up until around 3pm.
Maybe the nanny was snowed in too..

I made it snow for 2 days straight and didn't get a snow day. Then all of a sudden next winter snow was built up it had barely snowed an hour or 2 to cause the 2nd build up and yet they declared it a snow day. Pretty weird if you ask me.
Sagana:
That's pretty much how snow days work where I live as well. First snow "OMG, snow on the ground, get the kids out of school." Next day - constant whining from everyone over calling off for a dusting that doesn't even make your feet wet, paren'ts all upset, had to miss work, trouble with sitters etc. A week later - snows for 3 days straight, you can't open your door, freezing weather, nothing moves - whoever decides school's out is too scared to declare a snow day so the kids all go. Next day - constant whining about the dangerous conditions the schools put our kids through, parent's driving through the emergency-condition streets with 2-year-old siblings, most kids don't show up, half the teachers can't get in etc. Next dusiting - send 'em to school and when the 2' builds up, send 'em home at noon. Next day - parent's all b*tch about having to leave work to get kids, can't these guys even watch a weather report? Next snow - call school off the night previous as weather reports 2' expected, next day snow's all melted. Streets are fine. Whine - nobody can even look out a window and see what the weather is. Next dusting - call school off. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Truthfully, it's rather sadoradom.
Sibling:
There seems to be a difference for snow days between private school and public school... I've had them a few times for private school sims only while the public school sims on the same lot (poor underprivileged shmucks) have to wade through the snow.
Process Denied:
The Maxoids said that the parents would also get off(without penalty) if it was a snow day for the kids maybe the parents took off because there was a teen at home that is able to babysit? Either that or it is broken. It also might be that the parents already got the call to work before the snow day was declared.
