Repair work stopped

Our house sitter let me know she wasn't going to the house, because of the heavy snowfall and icy roads today. I called our house repair contractor, to make arrangements to let him in, and found out they weren't planning on coming, either. They couldn't even get their repair van out of their parking lot, because of the treacherous layer of ice everywhere. So today is a lost day, all around. Except I had no problem getting to my work, other than it taking twice as long. Go figure.
