Wusses here already cancelled school based on forecast???

Good Grief! At 5:00 PM, the wusses here have already cancelled school for tomorrow based ONLY on a forecast of possibly getting 4-5" of snow tonight. Watching local TV, the school districts that are closed tomorrow are scrolling across the bottom of the screen. When I was a kid, it took more than 4" of snow to get school cancelled. Plus, why not do what they used to do. Scroll across the bottom of the screen with school closures IN THE MORNING. I wish I had a dollar for every time they cancelled school based on just a forecast and we wound up getting nothing or just a dusting. I think it is ridiculous.

And they'll have continuous coverage of the "dangerous storm", video of people buying salt and snow shovels, safety tips, and reporters outside showing that it's snowing. We just had a so-called blizzard (6" at my house) and the governor ordered truckers off the interstates.
Makes you wonder where all common sense has gone.
