I would imagine that in the short-term there will be over-erring on the side of extreme caution, schools and businesses closing at the hint of any possibility of snow in the forecast, mass over-preparation by the citizenry, etc. And then the first time the schools are closed "without cause" and businesses are open, forcing lots of people to take a day off to take care of the kiddos, the pendulum will start to swing back toward the other direction.
