You'd probably go: "Eh, - no big deal" and head back home. It just gets colder for longer and the snow sticks around or gets compacted into ice rather than melting in a few days or weeks.
If I was 2 miles closer to work my winter commute would be a piece of cake. This Feb I finally got smart. By heading out of my way a few blocks I was able to cut the bad stretch down to the 5 blocks closest to my house.
