I find it hard to believe that any righteous parents would let their daughter go out into that kind of weather. It was almost beyond blizzard conditions at that time.
And I'm not sure why everyone is reading ambiguity into the ending. It was very very clear.
Well look at it from their perspective. Sure its snowing hard out, but walking a few blocks in the snow isnt that big of a deal. It would have to be real deep to stop someone from making it on foot. They don't know that the Krampus is coming, so they arent aware of that danger.
Beth and her boyfriend seem like a very clingy high school couple. It seems pretty safe to say that she is going to his house to hang out and won't be going anywhere other than his house.
-I felt the same way. Once she got the go ahead, I thought that was just stupid.
shareBUT the parents did NOT agree with her leaving... the wife 'gave in' so to speak, and she didn't like it! And after they were each comforting each other that Beth was in a 'safer place' did Max come down and remind them...she'd been gone more than an hour. It was still a stupid decision, yeah, but the Dad was trying to show 'some' faith in his daughter, maybe not safety. And the blizzard hadn't fully "slomphed" down in the Phone Bone(Jeff Smith) 'way' quite yet when she left. It got worse AFTER she left.

Sure, it was snowing vigorously, but her bf only lived a few blocks away. And they lived in suburbs, not out in the boonies.

That wasn't any old blizzard though was it? Could barely see outside.
