We didn't even need the delay.

Speak for yourself.

I was a teacher and parent. The mayor and chancellor said that we had to report to school while it was "thunder snowing" outside. I would usually make an effort to get to work in inclement weather because I lived in the city and had an easier commute, but my husband told me not to even think of it. It snowed heavily for like a full day or two. There were literal walls of snow on sidewalks and intersections once they got to clearing streets.

How long were schools closed? I worked for a company that would send an all-staff email on snow days to "use your best judgment" about coming to work, which everyone knew meant get your a$$ into the office. Obviously years before Covid and WFH policies.

That was the only time that there was zero guilting about not coming into work for, if I remember right, the entire week.
