I’d say they’re waiting until early tomorrow morning before sending any comma out. Most of the office who have longer commutes are just going to stay at home anyway, not worth the risk getting stranded in the evening.

Unlike the schools and the safety risk to kids, employees in jobs are grown ups (in age at any rate) who can decide for themselves the relative risk of making a journey to work in their own area. If they have to take a leave day or work back the time, so be it. By the way, I never heard so much cr@p in my life that "because of the incompetency of the authorities, people will die". Short of inventing a super weapon to dissipate the storm system, the authorities are doing what they can - preparing, organising resources and warning the public of real danger through every possible channel. Have people become so incapable and dependent that they cant take steps to secure their own safety and property when fairly warned??
