I dunno...look at the number of people who have the tv on when they're 
getting ready for work/school in the morning.  If you've got time to watch 
tv, you've got time to check out a station's website.

I rather like the idea of un-cluttering the airwaves with loooong lists of 
cancellations.  Rather than having to sit thru a 10 minute list of 
cancellations/delays, etc. you can go online, check to see if the ONE 
organization you're interested in is on or off and go on your 
way.  Meanwhile, this frees up the station to offer programming other than 
closings...I for one do not have school aged children and am not in the 
least bit interested if school is closed or not.
