    Not only that, but they have to make decisions based on the data they have at the time. You can't wait until buses are being sent out to cancel school. It's better to cancel early and be wrong every so often than to not cancel and have it be a disaster.

      Oh please they used to cancel school at 6am stop it you sound foolish. (or later if there was the "2 hour late start" ) They cancelled it at 8pm when snow wasnt expected for like 10 more hours in the best projections. (and that shifted well before THE BUSSES WERE BEING SENT OUT!!!!)

      And lets not forget how bad the Weather Terrorists screwed it up to begin with. Nice prediction model I did a better job based on looking at my phone for 12 seconds than you did with all the "data". (I said after the gf got the call the snow wouldnt hit us until way later than they said and this will all look ridiculous)

      There has to be a happy medium where you dont look stupid as heck (MNDOT and the Districts do no matter how you slice it) and still give everyone enough time. It isnt like this is new stuff for us there is a reason people watch morning news in the winter and it aint the tasty recipes and witty repartee

      And Grey I enjoy having the house to myself during the day so if I am going to lose that the weather better be friggin awful!!

        I wish the Weather Terrorists were wrong.
        I've moved way too < bleep > much heavy wet snow already today and more is coming overnight.

        This version of "snow" is why I moved back to ND from the east coast.

          Isn't he supposed to add some words about having to walk 10 miles each way to and from school, uphill both ways, into the wind, with his brother, in 6 feet of snow, and they only had three snowshoes between the two of them?

            Yeah, and it probably has to do a lot with newer contracts the districts sign. I wouldn't be shocked if the bus companies and maybe even teacher's unions have clauses where you need to make a decision by a certain time the night before or you still pay.

              We have a half a foot here already and I’m guessing it will be another half a foot by morning.

                Nothing started until 3pm in Plymouth MN, so IMO the schools over-reacted. Good point on the contracts, but it's still an over-reaction in this particular case.
                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                    Since when would a little snow and ice impact whether a hockey tournament is going to happen? This is MN, not Texas.

                      They're coming from all over the USA. Some places have only seen snowplows in picture books.

                        Well good for them, hope they learn fast. This is hockey. Hockey is played in the snow, ice and cold, if you can't deal with that, take up bowling.

                                People don't seem to understand how difficult it is to get weather predictions right, with the ability for it all to have one seemingly small part of the equation change and make the whole prior prediction invalid. Let alone, they nailed the prediction with exception to the timing, and that was only off by a few hours. I got off work at 3:00, and while on the bus ride home, the roads became whiter and whiter. In fact, it was near white-out conditions by the time I got into my car.
