Is there a benefit to choosing (2) over (3)?
Admittedly, I'm not likely to be there regardless of snow, but I must
admit I've never quite understood this peculiarity of the Philadelphia
region to cancel events well before, just in case.
Given that everyone knows that it's worth checking their mail to see
what happens, what is gained by deciding now instead of tomorrow at 4
p.m., except that deciding now risks canceling without need?
