what should they have done then?

left people unequiped for the weather to get stuck or skittle into each other ?, sometimes regardless of how prepared you are the safest thing to do is to close a route.

i work in highway maintenance and winter maintenance, it still amazes me that people think that routes are able to be kept open regardless of conditions, its an unturth that you can prepare totally, the organisations have no control of where snow comes down or how much, the real test is how fast they get control of it once things do get bad and the snow stops
