Same for newspaper reporters. We often have to try to go in to cover the storm itself plus whatever else is going on.
Nowadays, I work at home most of the time regardless. But that's because I have a computer and can do it just as easily from here. And I wouldn't be covering a blizzard in my current position anyway.
But I remember one time years ago when I tried to get to work and my car got stuck in the street. Somebody from the newspaper came by in a huge SUV and picked me up, and a few others. Another of my coworkers got there on his cross-country skis.

Hello Bettermost!
Well today I went back to work. The storm didn't hit the way they predicted, we only got about 6 inches of snow, instead of the predicted 12 - 15 inches. By the time I woke to go to work, everything was melting. I only had to clean off my car, the parking lot was pretty clean.

One winter, before I had a car, I simply couldn't get to work. The weather was so bad that the buses didn't run. I had no other way to get there, so had to stay home. Along with quite a few of my coworkers who usually took the bus.
But we didn't get the day off, we had to use a vacation day for it.

That stinks. Before I had the laptop to work from home with, if the weather was bad, and I couldn't get in, I would have to use a vacation day as well.

Ugh, I can't imagine trying to get to work on cross country skies!

Well, it's probably easier for someone who lives outside of Duluth, MN, than it would be where you live. :laugh:
