<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>I have never ever seen such advance suspension of services anywhere...and this is not only one metropolitan area but all areas from Boston south through Richmond! There is at least a 24 hour advance suspension in all these places for subway, commuter rail, rapid transit, even bus services. Is this too extreme? Could today have been a regular business day with the suspensions beginning at say 10PM or even 12M (nothing allowed to run as long as schedule terminated no later than 12M)? Is this overreacting or just good preparedness? [/quote]</p> <p>Not being part of the preparedness teams, it is difficult to say whether they are overreacting.</p> <p>The large electric utility that I worked for had a storm center, which was staffed when a major storm was headed our way. Some said that we tended to overreact to a pending storm, but prior experience told us that if we did not get on top of it, there were plenty of lawyers who would subsequently make us wish that we had.</p>
