It’s purely anecdotal, but it seems like there a lot more business/school shutdowns over weather predictions that end up being busts.

I would imagine it has something to do with modern modeling. We know about weather events in the future now more than ever. They don’t all pan out, but there is a reasonable risk 3-5 days out now that didn’t exist a generation or two ago. A few days of everyone knowing the weather might be bad will influence schools more than they would have in the 70s, for instance.
