Here's my usual reply... if you didn't make it to work, you didn't want to make it to work.
Favorite story about snow, and it comes from Florida. Feb, +70F outside, software problem, called the vendor in WA (and no, not them). They always picked up on the first ring (considering their software costs, they better), yet this time, it went to the fifth ring. Commented about this with a laugh, and the reply... they got 24" of snow the night before, and snowmobiles were slower then cars, for everyone coming to work.
