Why can't you not take a snow day? If you cannot get to work then don't go in.
I don't have that excuse as for some reason the trains are all running perfectly (but I'm not in till Thursday anyway).

I was supposed to pick Neil up tonight but Mum says I can't go out as my car has crap tires & even Neil said he didn't want me to as cars are skidding round the roundabout outside the restaurant.
