When I was a kid, I think I would be upset that the snow day came on a holiday so I didn't get an extra day off.
Did you not have to make up snow days later on in the school year, on a Saturday or some day which would have otherwise been a holiday? That's how they do it around here, anyway, since by law school must be in session a certain minimum number of days during the year, so any days off due to inclement weather, a flu epidemic, etc., must be made up before the school year is over in May.

Almighty Ruler of the all,
Whose Power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
O grant thy mercy and thy grace,
To those who venture into space.
