http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39262161So far in Rochester the roads are slick, but there hasn't been a lot of snowfall, I wasn't even plowed in this morning. (I didn't have to plow).
The expectation is the snowfall will ramp up throughout the day and we could see between 6 to 10 inches by the close of business.
All schools are closed as far as I heard on the news because of the declared state of emergency.
The office is still open, as I would suspect most businesses to be. We have power and heat, and internet.

I wonder how many people's feelings I'd hurt by posting this outside of my office...

We're getting hammered with snow right now. At least an inch an hour so far.

I'm pretty annoyed. I asked if we're coming in and my boss said if it looks ok yeah. I said I don't know what it looks like because I live an hour away. No response. I drive a really shitty drive to work and no one else showed up.

I would have called and said "Call me if you need me, I'm calling a snow day."

I get 8 days a year vacation + sick time. I should know if I'm expected to go to work. This is insane. There's a dude who lives 10 minutes a away who isn't here.

I'm also that guy who has the 10 minute drive (in horrid weather). I'm at the office, hell I opened the office!
At the same time, I'm 10 minutes away, call me if you need me, I'm calling a snow day!

This is the second time where we were not clear on whether or not I needed to come to work. The last time I didn't come in and they were upset. This time we have a meeting and I said I live far enough away where the weather is different. Who can I call to confirm if I have to go in? They said my immediate supervisor. I text him to be polite because its 6:40 AM. No response. I call him, he doesn't pick up. Then he texts me "If the weather is okay go in". That's exactly why I asked if I need to go in. I live an hour away. ;'kljdfh'lkjndg'lknfgh

It's because most people in your office just don't care about if you have to risk your life going to work.
I'd text your boss and tell him you're going home before it gets worse. If the office is as slow as it is here, I'd leave too.
