That's just over-the-top for the sake of being silly.
There are plenty of situations when our Facilities department closes the place down; we call the hotline and get the recording which says "don't come in today." Yesterday was an exceptional situation involving only 1 road leading from my neighbourhood to the office. Leaving my parking lot, the roads were fine: I never would have attempted heading in if the 2.25 mile twisty downhill from my apartment if it was iced over. The highways were clear, most of the other arterial roadways were not solid ice rinks, so there were no facility closures. If I weren't so insistent on an early schedule, the roads were actually clear of ice 2 hours after my incident.
