As one who has made the snow day call for a couple decades, I can tell you no matter what I do someone is upset. I canceled yesterday because of the trip home. At 10:00 I was questioning my decision as the roads where bare, yet by our normal early dismissal time the roads were terrible and stayed that way until well into the evening.
Over the years I have seen more households were a parent/guardian is not at home during the day and most (not all) appreciate an early call regarding changes in the school day as they need to figure out childcare. In my own childhood, my mother did not work outside the home; that seems more the exception than the rule today.
I may have gotten this one right but who knows about the next one!
