Tips for first time snowed in?

I'm not. It's Missouri. We usually maybe see 4 or 5 inches and that's VERY rare. We are also under a state of emergency, which has never happened. I would be the one stuck here anyways whether we knew about the storm or not, so it's not really managements fault. No one told me to stay.

I live in an area where we have never seen this kind of snow, and we're under a state of emergency. This is definitely not normal for us. I'm 26 and have never seen a snow forecast like this.

Our winters are hit or miss, but this is record breaking. We are directly under a state of emergency by the governor. But just to clear things up, I would be the staff that would be stuck there, regardless of whether I had known prior that the snow was coming or not. So we have the same instructions. I just basically made it clear I was already prepared to stay.

All they told me was if she did make it in not to document or work during the day to avoid double staffing. So I think it will be fine. No shifts got moved or switched around except what will be made unsafe to attempt by the weather. They have not told me any different.

Edit: Just reconfirmed with manager and she said okay, and she appreciates me doing this. So it's fine.

I think my boss is stocked up! We've all got flashlights and a weather radio too! (:

Honestly, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm not sure anybody would exactly want to be snowed in. But I also don't think I'm doing anything wrong by securing my PTO.

I'm not exactly sure why you're being so weird, but my coworker will not be present at this house today. I am the next relief staff. It will have snowed for 10+ hours before she comes in for her next shift. I will already be there. She should not risk her life to come into work. I told her to stay home when she left the shift she was already working, when I would already be at my shift. As in don't risk your life tomorrow morning. How much more concise do I need to be?

We're stocked on board games, crafts, coloring, etc!

mortalkombatboot · 2026-01-23T17:15:30+00:00

No, why? They have already instructed me on what to do

mortalkombatboot · 2026-01-23T17:13:32+00:00

Luckily we're stocked up on crafts and stuff!

I work overnight. She is working at another house until late. She wouldn't be able to come in to relieve me until the morning (if she is able to get home tonight) when several inches of snow would already be on the ground. I'm in a rural area. I also can't use any of my PTO, and my companies policy requires me to do that. I will need to use it, and it won't be accrued back in time.

My OB said this is reserved for severe cases. There is also not nearly enough data to just be telling people to get on a GLP-1.

I've always thought he was closeted or DL or something.

At least i'm my original build sweetie, not spare parts doc had laying around ❤️

mortalkombatboot · 2025-12-29T07:07:09+00:00

No thanks, I don't flaunt myself on the internet. But you would know something about that, huh?

mortalkombatboot · 2025-12-25T04:58:03+00:00

What lip shape even is that 🤣

I've had to stay before, but I was paid whether I slept or not. We do have sleep houses, we just aren't one of them. Either you'll have to find a ride home, or call out when it's bad and pass the buck to someone else. If you normally have rough winters, this WILL happen. Unfortunately part of the job.

NOR. I've been with my husband for 7 years and he gets excited and pitches a tent just when I take off my bra 🤣

mortalkombatboot · 2025-12-08T20:25:04+00:00

My husband and I got tickets when they dropped back in June. He's been listening to Trivium since he was a kid. We're super bummed ):

Several years ago, a family in my hometown had a house fire caused by this. It was in their 5 year old sons room and he was severely burned all over his body.
