Modern weather forecasting versus blizzard tragedies of the past

SDPB radio had a discussion of 1952 Rosebud Blizzard and 1888 blizzard. What was not mentioned was how much improved weather forecasting has changed most people's behavior around weather. Yesterday was warm and with a sunny blue sky. Think about pioneers with no weather forecasting or even Dakotans in 1952 when forecasting was primitive and mostly inaccurate without the benefit of satellite technology. I can imagine a day like yesterday would persuade people to leave home and then end up in the midst of a dangerous blizzard or flood. Take advantage of the improvements in forecasting and perhaps be a lot safer.
