On Thursday Night Dance at Concord (MA) Scout House, there are a couple
of criteria. First, if the town has a parking ban, no dance. Second,
consider the travel conditions for the performers. Today, there was
significant snow between where the performers live and Concord. Also,
if it's hard for the performers to get there, most dancers will also
decide it's not worth it.

Hi all,
In Rochester NY we are often blessed with unpredictably significant
quantities of snow over a short time.
Generally speaking, it is known by 3pm if the evening dance will
cancelled due to weather.
We are reviewing our procedures for canceling the dance, and wondered
what other communities do to:
0) Decide if a dance should be cancelled?
We are thinking of basing it off Winter Storm Warning by National
Weather Service
1) Let the community know the dance is cancelled
Easier if everyone knows to check for a Winter Storm Warning...
But post on website, and facebook event page are also done here
2) Compensate performers who have arrived or are en-route when the dance
is cancelled.
In particular, touring performers who may be in the city on their
way to the next gig...
Any thoughts are appreciated.
