Maybe it's because I painfully remember last December's nightmare (wife and kid took 5 1/2 hours to get home from a doctor's appointment maybe 6 miles away), but the forecast I saw on the early news said the heavy snow would start around 2 p.m. - just in time to screw up all the buses, especially in hilly areas like the one I live in, and never mind the impact on workers who all leave for home en masse (which was what happened last time). One snow day isn't going to make that much of a difference - you really need five or six to extend school to June 30 (which I learned four years ago, when that happened to us).
