Akash, and Brendan, I have no advice on what teams should or should not have done given the cards they have been dealt. What works for your team may not work for others.

Schools in the Baltimore area were closed for a day or 2 days, last week. That was 3 storms ago and 4 " ago. They started Friday by opening late in some areas, then closing early due to a storm that evolved and grew. That was 2 storms and 30 " ago. They have not been back to school since. This storm (which it appears NJ is also experiencing) will be dumping another 10-20" depending. Schools have been canceled until at least early next week. I am hard pressed to imagine anyone who was wise enough to envision how this would unfold the past week. The Baltimore area, as well as much of the Mid-Atlantic is paralyzed and in a state of emergency. There are building collapsing, thousands without power (some since last Friday) and medical emergencies everywhere with no way to reach people.

Sometimes compassion and listening (and there are lots who need to vent and this forum allows for that within limits) is better than offering advice.
