In hindsight...

Some people really really did a disservice to workers and school kids by insisting on a half-day of work/school yesterday. Obviously the decisions that go into closing a school early are far different that the "rules" that apply to closing a business/sending workers home but a lot of NJ businesses and schools messed up by A) Not canceling school for a couple days (Kids aren't to the point they'd have to make up excessive days in June) and B) When the businesses didn't just tell people to work from home if possible and then sent them all home around noon after realizing the weather service wasn't lying to their bottom lines, they dropped everyone on the same roads at the same time so everyone had a lovely drive home worse than it should have been.

Schools and businesses need to be weather aware. Be smarter next time.
