Fortune telling - schools announced as closed tomorrow?

For context, I'm in Manchester. We had suburban snow this morning (gritters obviously concentrating on main roads), it was treacherous, I was not surprised that my son's school closed.

But we received a text mid-afternoon saying it would also be closed tomorrow. Now we've had only a light flurry since, there's no sign of the great fall that is happening out to the east of the city (Oldham and beyond). We're not due to have more. But they've already declared school closed - aibu to think this is a bit previous? There might be zero travel issues here tomorrow.

And to cap it off, our son's disability club on Saturday afternoon has also been closed, two days ahead, due to the poor weather. What little snow currently sitting in pavements and gardens could be completely gone by then! Again, a bit early to announce?

YABVU particularly as the school is identifiable from one of your previous posts!

It’s an incredibly difficult decision to close any school but especially a special school/ non-mainstream provision. As far as I’m aware all of the Manchester special schools have already announced they’re closed tomorrow.

You would be well advised to email or make an appointment to discuss with a member of the leadership team next week to discuss your concerns rather than posting here.
