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.

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.
