We had ice on top of snow which caused dangerous roads. Most people stayed home.

We got about 8 inches here close to Ithaca New York and that's less than the nomal lake effect snow we usually get....

Maybe this is an indication of the generation to come?
...as in, they are so used to normal, anything outside it is a big deal to them.
A bit scary tho. I mean, what else will they shut down everyday life for ?
(Not that used to snow or snowy weather).
I do wish they'd do it out here for the heat tho🫤

I know a few who have become managers and such, and they are but 26 or so
It was just an extrapolated idea.🤷♀

The exact same thing happened up here in Toronto last night (Sunday). They preemptively canceled all schools 24 hours ahead of Monday morning starting, after getting word that it would snow on Monday.
Well yes, here in downtown Toronto where I live right on Lake Ontario it was whiteout conditions all morning long today, but like you said, nobody was around.
Every morning at 5am I go for a long run along the lakeshore and down near the water if I can and this morning when I went out, everything was closed ahead of the storm yet I could still run in running shoes with no problem!
What this meant was, every family had to have an adult stay at home from work today because school was canceled as were all the buses. My first thoughts were, like seriously, WTF?!

Now that was a smart move!
When my sisters and I got snow-days and stayed home from school when we lived on my parent's tobacco farm, our Dad made sure that he had 3 snow shovels in stock at all times, plus 3 small yard tractors with 3 snowblowers on the back end which my sisters and I would be assigned to.
It pretty much took all day to clean out our laneway which was 1000 feet long from the house to the gravel road out front, considering we could cut about a 2 foot wide path while moving backwards!
When we'd be at school and it would snow, our Dad would use his giant John Deere tractor with a heated cab and dual wheels front and back, to clean out the lane in about 4 minutes with a snowblower that was 8 feet wide and 4 feet high! Snow-days for us meant, keep them busy and no watching TV!

Cannot be too careful when it comes to snow drifts
