Whoops. Haverhill Public Schools apologized to families for holding school on Tuesday after the city got nine inches of snow, according to a Facebook post from the district.

The school said it was following weather forecasts, which predicted snow wouldn’t start until 1 p.m. It started mid-morning instead.“We called this one wrong, and we are so sorry!” their post reads.

The full story is here on Boston.com, if you're interested. (Non-paywalled.)

I don't want to be insensitive but this is dumb,hiking Mt Washington state forest in a bad bad snow storm (not to be confused with the mountain in New Hampshire)

Mt Washington is a town of 150 odd people on the Connecticut and New York borders in southwest MA.It is very mountainous and remote and is known for Bash Bish falls the states largest waterfall and Mt Everett and large Mt of about 24,25 hundred feet.It is also known for a decent rattlesnake population.

Every year someone gets lost in the White Mountains or on Mt Greylock in a storm and occassionally someone dies or goes missing or a body pops up years later in the Maine wilderness or something.

​

If these people were not able to find a cell signal they would have surely died and I am surprised they found a cell signal in Mt Washington in a blizzard.What possessed them to hike to a remote cabin on a MT in a blizzard.And the State Troopers they put at risk too ,what about them.

Please don't hike in storms,really it's not smart

Yikes. Makes me think of the post on r/askdocs two days ago about asking if rectal exams normally last 30 mins.

People who take jobs strictly to abuse people are next level predatory and fucked up.
