What is your company's snow day policy?

Question

We've had severe snowstorms this year, very unusual for my city, and it's become an issue at work.  Many lower-level staffers chose to leave when the roads started getting bad, and now the higher-ups are complaining that no one was here to cover things.

If you work, especially in an office, how do your bosses handle it?  Do they let you leave when it's getting bad outside?  Do they pay you for the time at all?  How do you deal with it?

Snow is not an excuse for an absence.  However, if certain percentage of people do not show up or are late, then everyone absent or late will be allow to take excuse time (unpaid unless the person as personal time left).  If we are already here, then we must stay until the end of our shift unless the company offers e-time (excused).  I have been here 6.5 years and have only had e-time twice.  Both times on Christmas Eve.

The rule that my boss uses is simple: If it getting hard to get to the office, leave home early, just make sure you are in on time. No public transport: you should have gone by car. Trafic jams: you should have taken public transport.
