Reply to comment by Proper-Code7794 in Philadelphia is approaching a snow drought record by ColdJay64

Booooo! I remember one snowy day someone (with no authority) called into one of the radio stations and told them that all Philadelphia schools were closed because of the snow. Other stations started reporting it but other stations were saying schools were open, there was so much confusion they just decided to close the schools. After that they put some safeguards in place to make sure it couldn't happen again.

Once when I was in high school, I think junior year, a bunch of us coordinated to call into the local radio station and report that the roads were very unsafe, no one should drive on them. I guess we weren't very good actors, because the DJ called us out on it.
