Irony indeed.
I was in London once and had my flight delayed for a day because Heathrow sent the “gritters” home because of the snow storm (a few inches, nothing awful). Someone has a wicked good union 
The Snowbowl ski resort in Arizona was closed down last week because of a snowstorm. In that case I believe it was really the high winds that made it dangerous.
You have to remember that they err on the side of caution.
In a place with heavy winters, snow is treated with less respect than somewhere that only snows during blue moons. Low snow areas freak out rather fast.
I have been told to leave work because of a few inches of snow, and have worked elsewhere and had to shovel a foot or two off the drive, just to get to the road to get to work.
Still funny though.
