PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
And I bet none of us would scoff at them if they were offered to us.
To your point though, I agree that some are very much ridiculous. It can lead to a culture of entitlement and laziness. Having said that, I have spent a lot of time in both urban and rural France, and I can say for certain that the work ethic of the French is not unlike that of Americans. They just have better benefits.
It's all a question of national priorities. For the French, they have made it a point to emphasize more leisure time and a larger safety net at the expense of overall productivity and business opportunity. Americans have increasingly voiced their desire to edge closer to that emphasis, but we have a much smaller voice compared to corporations, and so we as a nation sacrifice leisure time and a national safety net to gain overall productivity as a more business friendly nation. More money in general, but less time to enjoy it.
