My kids have no school. They totally could’ve gone today. But whatever. Steady light snow here. Hoping to grab 2-3”. 

OT,  I never had a snow day in the 1980s ... Not once.

Of course, that was a different cultural era - it wasn't just for dearth of snows.   But there's still no mistaking, the trigger gets pulled ( starting about 15 years ago ...) at least excuse imagined when preceding pretty much anything in reality nowadays.  

I used to think that's because our society has evolved to be litigiously preoccupied, always looking to sniff ways to f-over some one or something else to compensate for their own stupidity or just bad luck, or both ... Eventually ... institutions had to evolve to protect themselves from lawsuit giddiness.  Ha.  But I wonder if there is also a "day off" undisclosed sorta motivation going on.  Because unless parents really are working for some unforgivable p.o.s. employer, they can pull the 'have to be with the kids' card.  Raising kids is complex... it's easy to hide that motivations behind a litany of reasons why this would require not doing one's day job along with the kids staying home. So it's very difficult to prove that mentality is part of it.  lol

I'm also kind of cynical so tfwiw -

They started cancelling a lot more the night before after the Dec 2007 traffic nightmare storm.
