I'd guess schools, particularly primary schools, close because kids are possibly more likely to slip and hurt themselves on ice and snow than working adults, and the schools will be more liable due to diminished responsibility of the child and greater duty of care on the part of the school. Where I live, primary schools closed, but secondary schools, colleges stayed open and unis were still doing lectures and stuff.
That's just a guess at this point, but it seems to be the most likely reason to me.
