We could get a foot of snow and wind gusts of 50 mph. The general manager where I work said the reason we're staying open is that since they have to pay us no matter what, she doesn't have an incentive to close.

I live about a half mile away--not too far--but I am filled with anxiety about walking back home through a foot of snow and gale force winds.
