    I suggested this analog a few days ago, this was another north of NYC snow event in a season when we saw very little snow.

    I remember this storm well. We got 8-9 inches. Incredibly cold and windy day.

    it would only be mentioned on the weathercast.

    and the weathercast was only done at the end of the newscast.... have you noticed the weather gets mentioned every 10-15 minutes now on the news even if it's sunny and mild?

     

    Well because they hype climate change...yesterday  they mentioned deaths across the mation because of EXTREME  cold...guess what there has always been extreme cold and extreme heat

    It comes down to lawsuits.  That's the gist of it.   Friends and family in my generation always ask why school is dismissed or cancelled for seemingly benign weather events.  It's always about liability, and the general trend to be more cautious.   Not necessarily a bad thing, except for those who need to make last minute arrangements for childcare.  Times change.   It will be interesting to see whether the bullish forecasts by NWS verify.  They have the tools and expertise, so who am I to doubt them.  

     

    I respect the risk evaluation system they have created, similarly to that of the Coast Guard.  Human life is valued and more heavily weighted in these equations. 

    back in the 70s and 80s when I was in school we got by just fine and never really heard on accidents in my area

     

    Its likely the qualifications of bus drivers have  probably dropped dramtically from the old days...
