Environment Canada predicted as low as 15cm and as high as 30cm. The proliferation of news media and the need for "Breaking News" to fill space and air time saturates us by focusing on the worst case scenario causing knee jerk reactions like those of the TDSB. My regular run to the office is 30 minutes. Today it was 17. Get a grip Toronto. It's just winter and there are far more important things going on in Toronto and the world

I can't believe the hype that went into this 'storm'!!
Every time the meteorologists forecast any major storm it never happens!!
Stop the hype.

I wish I was a meteorologist, I could get paid $100K a year for being wrong all the time. Because of all this hype over these 'flurries' it has cost the city thousands of dollars in lost productivity. People stayed at home and watched 15cms of snow fall instead of going to work. Thank you forecasters, thanks a lot!

To my wussy coworkers who wimped out, stayed home and are calling it "working from home": Yeah. Right. You know who you are.

People forget that the school boards close not only to protect the parents and children but the teachers and the rest of the school staff. Who will watch the children if only a few teachers are able to make it in? What has happened in past is that classes are merged so that grade 2/3/4 students are grouped together with a teacher and they are given "busy colouring work" to do. Why not keep children home and safe with the parents. This doesn't happen often and parents should take advantage of it to make it a very special day for them and their children. Remember, you raise your child, not the school.

Environment Canada always predicts the worst in order to cover its butt. The thing that gets me is that their main spokesman, David Philips, seems to always come out with obvious statements such as "There wasn't as much snow as predicted". How scientific. As if we hadn't noticed.

Perhaps weather forecasters and journalists should apologize.

What's with the short-term memories, this past "storm" is nothing compared to what we had just 12 years ago. Oh wait, wasn't that when TO brought in the MILITARY (much to the amusement of the rest of the world, of course). LOL
