Important forecasts that don't upgrade the warning to your relevant area until the middle of the night make it far less likely they will be heeded, for practical, not boneheaded reasons.

It'll be healthier if everyone unclenches.

I originally responded to a post about ATLANTA, so that was the area I was referring to. Which makes what you stated above irrelevant, since the storm watch was issued EARLY MONDAY MORNING; don't let the facts get in the way of your argument.

"The entire metro Atlanta area was under a winter storm watch early Monday morning, giving plenty of time to prepare for a worst-case scenario," said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. "By late Monday afternoon and evening, confidence increased that significant snow would impact Atlanta and winter storm warnings (south metro) and winter weather advisories (north metro) were issued."
