IMO, the authorities had a no-win situation: Predict massive gridlock,
and enough people stay home that it doesn't materialize and they're
accused of overstating the effects. Fail to scare people into staying
home and the rest of the road network collapses under the strain of
the diverted traffic, making everyone wonder why the warnings weren't
more dire.
