When it becomes too dangerous to drive. I once called in and said i couldnt come in, because of the snow. And she said she wants me to come in, it isnt that bad. So I said, I would be happy to come in, if she would drive the 40 miles to my house in the snow to pick me up, and back again in the evening to drop me off. She shut up and didn mention it again.

It depends where you live.
If you live in Alaska, you would be expected to get to work and plough the road on the way there.
If you live in Jamaica, you just stay at home and chill out, or optimistically form a winter-olympic ski-ing -team.
If you live in Russia, you walk to work, but say to people, "Do not worry, we MAY live to see the summer."
If you live in Antartica, you are either a penguin or an environmental researcher, in which case, you are already at work, and say, "I blame global warming."
If you are Polish, you don't complain, but clear the snow, place it in neat piles then walk the four miles to work as usual.
If you are a teenage professional down-hill skier in Finland, you can't wait to get to work, and call your mates, saying, "Hey! Let's go chase some chicks."
If you live in England, you switch on that source of all knowledge and wisdom: the television. You then watch shock horror reports of "heavy snowfall," "extreme weather warnings","footage of traffic chaos in Chipping Sodbury," reports of motorway queues going back 25 miles, "treacherous conditions in the Border Region," and the police spokesman who tells you not make a journey "unless it is absolutely necessary."
At this point, you call your boss and say, "My God, have you watched the weather reports on TV? I'm not going to risk it."
He agrees with you, and tells you that he's stuck in a 20 mile tail-back on the M4 into London.
Then you make a nice cup of tea and read your daily post; wondering how on earth the brave paperboy and the hardy postman made it.
Eventually, you go to the front-door to let the cat out, only to discover that there is a light dusting of snow on top of the 4 X 4, and the road is perfectly clear.
You know you've had a lucky escape, and you know you are in England.

Depends what you do. If you drive a snow plough your chances of staying at home will be inversly proportional to the depth. There is no law. You should go to work providing it doesn't cover your wellies

If you work for Sears, there is no such thing as too much to close the store. Last winter, even when a level three snow emergency was declared, they refused to close until local law enforcement closed them.

I think it depends on who you work for.
Some companies do think of their workers and
if you have gone in they probably let you leave
early cos of the traffic.
It,s not so much the depth of the snow but the
ice thats on the roads.

If you can not get to work due to the snow, it means a day off to go sledging.

Depends on whether you are a snow plough driver.
