The difference between now and when they didn't use extreme wether protocols (as often), is that now the organisers care more about the cyclists health.
It's disappointing for the race but it's actually good for cycling that they do this imo.
Another one says it is 2C and another one says its 0C.
Also Monte San Vicino already got cancelled last year due to bad weather and there were rumours that the reason was the tarmac was in horrible condition.-Maybe it is the same this year.
It melted. Like snow does when temperature raises.
They had to take the decision yesterday as with protocol. Their fault is not having other strategies planned, especially with a race that whole GC depends on one stage. You can't blame them for their actual decision of cancelling it.

They could have started the stage and looked wheteher the snow had dried or not.

Their forecast obviously must have showed the snow would stay. From economical point of view for the race and its organizers, it was better to cancel stage early if the data was there the situation was not going to improve.
Sometimes forecasts get it wrong, but can't blame them for their decision here. When it snows in mountains, it usually stays for quite a bit.
P.S.
Better you stay home & skip the whole season you narrow minded, selfish moron. https://t.co/uwZSY8hxBK

Even the Giro had plenty of snow in may in the last years, with this fcked up climate, you can't rely on good weather anymore.

True But it couldn't hurt either, I think.
Actually with the way the climate is shifting then doing that wouldn't be a bad idea at all
