When did 1-3 “ of snow constitute a winter storm warning. Not that I wish death and destruction on my fellow pedes, but when I was young, we walked to school in several inches of snow. My mother’s retirement community in my hometown just rushed them through Christmas dinner saying they have to get home. Finished by 6pm, Merry Christmas.

You're minimizing a storm that really is a big thing for some areas, especially with the extreme cold, high winds, and extremely low wind chill. And this extends all the way into the South, where we'll have zero inches of snow, but may have ice from all the rain we just had.
Nope not minimizing a storm for the situation. Did you read my original post? When they started dinner, they rushed everyone through due to the impending storm. They started at 4 instead of 5 and were finished by 6. It was 45 degrees and light rain. Flurries didn’t START to fall until after 9. I’m tired of this. People dont understand the toll it takes on elderly. I’m sure the left celebrates it.
The elderly needed to be home. Most of the ones I know won't leave home if they can't get back home before dark. The line of the front had a wicked difference between the east side and west side. And it was moving fast. So older people don't need to take any chances.
It's a bad enough storm for the Weather Channel to name it Elliott. :)
Nope again. The elderly need to be told to go live life especially if you live a tenth of a mile to the mothership as we affectionately call it. DO NOT LIVE YOUR LIFE IN FEAR,
I suppose you have perfect night vision. I do, but most of the old people don't. Also, a simple fall can kill an old person. My great-grandfather died from tripping on his front porch. Only one member of my church lives within a tenth of a mile of the church. So almost all the old members have longer drives to get there.
And I'm not talking about 40 or 50 year olds either.
