Never mind watching the news, how about turning on the radio, or listening for the fog horns? And I’m not even that old.

When I was a kid, Portsmouth NH some sort of horn blew when school was canceled, and my grandfather would listen for it and then call my mom and my aunt, both of whom had kids in Portsmouth, to proclaim "no school" This was the 1970s
