In the past nothing would close just because there was snow or rain and yet people would arrive safely and go back home safely too. Of course if it becomes a tornado or something like that then it is for sure different but rain and snow is not a disaster unless you live where it is the first time snowing or raining. The Winters in my province would start in September and end in April and with the first snow there would be several feet of snow and in April too that amount of snow and yet no school closings and no other closings either. Of course common sense still existed in those days too.
