Should have told people to stay home.
Don't have the guts to "interrupt" business and school.
It happens. The smart ones stayed home.
I think local or state government can "request" that businesses close or
release early but they can't force it without declaring a state of
emergency. Last time I can recall businesses being forced to close up
here was in the blizzard of '78 when Michael Dukakis (then governor)
declared a state of emergency and banned any civilian auto travel for
almost a week.
I came up from Florida as soon as the roads opened and tured right back
around on my return trip.. The think I remember the most was on the way
up the Nat Guard was using huge loaders to lift and deposit stranded
cars on side of the highway into the snow banks to clear the roads. On
the way back down a couple days later, all those cars were laying there,
upsidedown, stripped, and burned....
