When the roads look "that" nasty our company lets us stay home. However, getting paid is sometimes optional. ! You see, no-one knows if the the roads are bad enough to be a "snow" day or not.
WE fight our way through drifts,dodging road blocks (they usually put them up AFTER we go by), black ice roads, whipping the dog teams mercilessly and arrive at work only to find that the "jokers"(no swearing allowed) that don't have 4x4's or friendly dog teams are getting paid to stay home while we, the denser ones, are put to work. Aaarggh.
3 more months of this crap then I can put the Zed on the road, maybe.
