It's been a bad winter
I think my high school student has missed his first 4 days of school due to snow. He hasn't had a chance to get form a C student which is where they unfairly start them to an A student.

- Aw, snow. I always miss it in the heat of Summer.
That's a lot of time off. Are they having fun? :) - I actually use NRaas Tempest to make the winter weather worse in some of my worlds, then to control things into a short warm dry vs. a long hot rainy season (just those two) in tropical worlds.
For those who are interested, the presence of the StoryProgression Career add-on module puts a stop to Snow Days entirely. Not the weather patterns, I mean the time off school granted for them. Instead, we get the option of setting up summer vacation schedules if we wish. None of us are quite sure why Twallan, our founder, did that with SP Career but we think he must have been working on revamping the coding behind Snow Days, never got around to finishing it, and it's been left that way for us to take a closer look at some time in the future.
In the meantime, my sims in colder climates have to go to school even if there's a blinding blizzard and over three feet of snow already on the ground. Just like where I grew up, the whole setup makes me homesick (a little bit). :) - Just think of all the skills they could be learning at home when they can't go to school.
- i wish this would happen in real life aha

Actually, this is exactly what is happening. My child heir had rolled the LTW that requires mastering painting and writing. So she's been alternating between practicing painting and writing books. She's actually on her second book already and she's not even in high school yet! Her brother has been more interested in checking out the town girls. He had one I thought might be "the one" but then this other girl seemed to be interested. He went to the prom alone but apparently while there, him and the second girl must had sparked their romance as I got a notice about that while he was there. So for the next two snow days, he invited her over and they are now going steady.
So definitely not wasted time. Just crazy that they've missed nearly a full Sim week of school. I don't use mods so I'll let it go where it wants to go. Last play time, spring had arrived and it rained. So in theory the next time I play, they will finally get to school and turn in that homework!- Yeah I had that happen to me too. It was kinda fun but I kept thinking if they don't go to school soon they will run out of time and age up before they can get a good grade. I was also running a family with like 3 kids so it made it easier to look after the toddler have the teen home. I use quite a few mod and think they add a lot to the game, but I love the weather and the fact it can so random which I think adds to the game, which is why, like yourself, I don't use tempest.
- Well, that explains why I've never seen the kids get off of school for a snow day.

Yeah, for me too. I got NRaas SP before I got Seasons. I always wondered why I never got snow days, no matter how hard the snow was coming down, when other players were getting them.- I also use tempest to control weather, for me I come from a place where it gets really really cold.So in my game I have it get to -10 some nights XD and in the summer 105 LOL.
