Freezing Rain Forecast - Delay School and Buy Water and Toilet Paper

It's 11 pm. Freezing rain is forecast overnight. 6 schools are already delayed, despite the fact that not one drop of precipitation has fallen. I haven't been to the store, but I'm sure that water and toilet paper are sold out.

Before my kids were in school, I remember one instance where the schools were closed, not delayed, closed, on the basis of a forcast, the night before. I drove to work the next day under sunny skies.
