I have just been informed my snow day yesterday is in fact a days annual leave. Not happy. I think I may be feeling ill sometime soon.

I would have expected it. Thought it was standard most places.

Pretty sure it is most places I've worked, not huge companies though. I only live 6 miles from the office so never had to take on yet though.

My school has been closed since Wednesday so I have been having a few snow days. Hope the snow over the weekend doesn't mean more closures next week!

I believe it has to be agreed by both employer and employee. The other options available are to take the time as unpaid leave or your employer can make you make the time up in overtime.

I have had the last two days off because of snow. Wednesday wasn't so bad because when I phoned in to say I couldn't get in I was told that no one was going out that day anyway (being a courier service).
Yesterday my car decided it wasn't going to let me in via the key fob and unlocking it with the key in the door just triggered the alarm and immobiliser and it wasn't until half eleven that the sensor unfroze and let me start the car.

I have Monday and Tuesday of next week booked as holiday but have been asked if I can cover because the boss is on holiday and probably will have trouble getting a flight back here. Am a little pi**ed off but having had the time off last week can't really argue.
