I think parents who are following sensationalist accounts do influence their decision. Yesterday I was already getting texts from people, "Are we really getting a foot of snow tomorrow?". This spring it will switch to, "Is a tornado really going to hit Omaha tomorrow?" 😂

They might close tomorrow? It looks sunny. And the plows will be out working overnight tonight.

Agree 100%. Even with the updated heavier snow totals, the majority of the snow ( and travel problems) was going to be after school. It's as if they are looking for reasons not to have school.

Yep. We're heading towards calling off school when it could be cloudy. 😀
