Have you had any extra days off work this winter because of bad weather?
I've gotten two days off recently for bad weather. The extra time with LO is priceless!
DH and LO have had a total of three days, but one of those I had to go back to work.
Our new daycare provider closes whenever the local school district closes, but they are pretty good about staying open otherwise. Unless the weather is really, really nasty my office is usually open.

0. People here don't get snow days off work unless there is a travel ban. And there is only a travel ban if there's like 2ft of snow and you can't open your front door. Exaggerating...just a bit. 
Funny enough there was a big storm just 15 minutes away that closed a few towns for a few days. But we barely got any of it. Boo.

One, last week. It snowed less than an inch. We had several delays at school because of ice/cold.

1/2 day...today. And it took me 2 hrs to get home.
I also took a half day of personal time earlier this week to beat an ice storm home, but that was my own time.
E's daycare is attached to a mall, and only closes for weather if the mall does. Today they closed early...at 5pm.
ETA: there have been about half a dozen 2 hr delays for the local schools, though.

One snow day and two delayed starts. People in Atlanta like to freak out about winter weather.

We don't get days off for snow, but we are "allowed" to work from home, which doesn't help too much when daycare is cancelled. Daycare had 6 or maybe 8 snow days (I can't even remember at this point). I've used half my PTO days for the year already.

Our local school district had used up all 10 of their built-in snow days. DH has worked from home for probably 8 of those. Thankfully his work is really flexible & he can do that. I've been on maternity leave, so I haven't had any snow days from work!

1/2 a day today. They make you use your PTO to cover missed time though, so it doesn't really count.

None. We've had two blizzards, two travel bans, and about 12 feet of snow this season. But I'm still expected to work from home, at least part of the day.

I work at a school and today was our 6th. We have 5 built into the school year so now we are making them up at the end of the year.

13. It's higher than usual (Id say our average is 8) but our winter blizzards started the first week of Nov and haven't stopped.
I'm a teacher, and luckily we don't have to make them up! They have taken two of our Professional Development days and turned them into classroom days which is just fine with me. I like being in the classroom and we have a lot of stuff to catch up on

Tomorrow will be our 7th (I work at a school). Last year we had ten, but we've had way more two hour delays this year. We haven't had a full week (with no delays, holidays, or snow days) since before winter break.

Zero.
MinneSNOWta has actually had a super mild winter. There would need to be a major blizzard with ice and maybe by the 3rd Day of straight snow they MIGHT have fallen behind on plowing.

None! It hasn't been snowy here this year. Just cold.

Tomorrow will be 10 for the school district and for LO's daycare because they follow the district. She goes Tues/Thurs so she has missed 6 days now.
It has been nice to have her home more and play in the snow, but because I work from home, I have to either figure out how to get work done with her at home, get DH to take time to take care of her, or pay for a babysitter on top of daycare. So it's frustrating!
They will be doing the same make-up days as the school district, but the way that they are going to fall on the calendar, we will only get to make up 2 of the 6 days that we missed since she only goes Tuesday/Thursday.

My daughter has a teacher come in on Fridays so we've only missed 2 days. Public schools have had at least 6

None. We've barely had winter this year. The one day that it did snow all of the snow melted later in the day when it turned to rain.

Snow days do not exist where I live unless you live out of the city. The only way we'd actually have a snow day is if the snow was so high you physically could not get out of your house.
And then I have the ability to work from home... so if there was a snow day, everyone would just be expected to work at home.

My work and LO's daycare have only had 1 snow day, when we were supposed to get hit with 22"+ inches of snow.
My work very rarely closes (obviously, ha ha) and daycare is on the same campus so only closes if we close.

hmmm well it's currently 82 degrees in southern california so our chances of ever having a snow day are nonexistent. However last week we did have a random hail shower and the whole city freaked out.
