Always funny that folks bring up how many inches of snow we got when ice was the concern...but hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good argument.
FWIW, I thought a 2 hour delay was appropriate but the main road in our neighborhood (the one that the school buses travel) was pretty icy and it goes downhill into a major thoroughfare. Many cars have slid down that hill and into the intersection. When I wake up and that road has not been treated, it is a pretty good indication that school will be closed.

Clear them of what? I've yet to see a street that was truly snow covered and even if I had the standard for plowing is a minimum of three inches before a plow can touch the pavement.
+1 There's no reason our kids couldn't have gone to school today.
