In like a lion...

For those of you in the Northeast, you're dealing with the same weather issues as I am this morning. As the saying goes, March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb. Whoever made that up certainly knew what they were talking about.

My question this morning is, where do you draw the line when it comes to snowstorms and working? For me, it isn't too much of an issue because I take public transportation. No, the walk to the train certainly wasn't fun, but it was better than having a commute by car. As this article on Yahoo says, this winter storm has already been the cause of four car-related deaths in New England.

At what point do you make the decision that your safety is more important than trying to make it into the building? Do you stay at home in bad weather, or do you brave it and take the risk?
