In my area, one winter day snow began to fall. It doesn't snow often at my elevation.
Three separate agencies needed to make a decision:
The DOT for mobilizing snow clearance
The local transit authority for altering schedules and making buses and light rail snow worthy.
The school districts to decide to whether to send students home early.
All three agencies made the wrong call, that is, do nothing.
Result: Children stranded at school. People waiting hours for buses and trains. Cars abandoned on arterial roads (then towed because authorities were like, too bad; tough shit. Same with cars parked overnight at shopping centers).
For me, it took 5 1/2 hours to drive home when it normally takes 25 minutes.
