[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm due at work by 8am, arrived at 7am hoping my NF could use a few hours to telework (DB is a fed who works from home, DW is an attorney who works downtown but she did not go in today). I let them know I needed to leave by noon in order to be able to have a parking space at my home. They showed no appreciation that I showed up and were miffed when I left. Lesson learned. Next time bad weather is predicted, I'm staying home.[/quote]

Similarly it was clear I would could safely get to work this morning but depending on the plows and actual amount of snow I wasn't sure I could get home.
We talked at 7am and DB has already driven downtown to work and MB wanted to work from the office 8-12 noon and then from home. They had serious work to do so I came in and they will drive me home later or I will stay over.

Other times when it is truly bad they tell me to take a snow day. That is if they can both work from home, don't have serious work or deadlines or can switch off watching the children.

They are not in the federal government and frankly half the snow days this season were nonsense, the other half were more legit.   We usually talk in the morning before I was to leave and assess the situation and forecast.  It is often less about the forecast and more about can I drive in alright-  the roads are already cleared, or are at 11am, - and what's the plan for if things get worse and the roads aren't treated.
