Imagine if, god forbid, the storm actually did hit during the afternoon commute.
Workers released early would choke the already congested roadways causing instant gridlock. Busses full of children would be stranded. Emergency services would be unable to move.
Wasn't this like just last year???
The schools and government workers are the only thing the State can really control without declaring a state of emergency, and it's probably less disruptive to call it off rather than have a mad scramble at noon.
Considering that at 2:30pm cars were unable to drive up the streets in my own neighborhood, It would seem that staying off the roads was a good idea.
Does it suck for the working stiff with kids in day care? Sure, but hopefully people can deal. It just may be that we're all better off in the end...
