So much for all the snow

You know what I will never understand? When they cancel events before the snow even starts. It started snowing here fairly heavy at about 8:30 last night, and by 10 they had cancelled all schools for the next day. I understand that they are banking on the meteorologists being right, but how often does that happen, lol? Granted, we did get about 9 inches of snow in our area, and it was slow going. Schools should have been cancelled. But why do it so early. They even cancelled things for tonight, and it isn't snowing anymore and the roads are fairly clear (at least the main ones). Oh well, just ranting a little:)
