Living in Wisconsin for more than 20 years and having taught at UW-Green Bay for 6 years, I was always yearning for "snow-days" breaks at school and at work. I did not have too much luck though. Although Wisconsin states may close elementary schools or high schools, the state does not have authority to close the university.
I have been in Taiwan for only two months and there are already three Typhoons. The Typhoon on September 28, 29 was a super Typhoon (Typhoon Jangmi) with wind speed tops at 224 kilo-meters per hour (comparable to the speed of Taiwan's High Speed Rail Trains. The government finally closes all schools in Taichung City. I got a Typhoon Day in Taiwan.
