Not a good sign for tomorrow

[tmw4h5]

I have an honest, yet somewhat stupid question regarding tomorrow's weather and missing work.
I'm scheduled to work 3-10 tomorrow at a business that may close early due to the weather, which we did last year during a big snow storm.
Rather than battle driving through downtown and risk being sent home early, I'd rather just call in due to the weather and the fact that MoDOT has asked that nobody travel unless it is a "dire emergency".
If I were to call in, could I be reprimanded or would I have a decent defense with the "no travel advisory"?

See what the weather is doing closer to the time to go to work.

Well, are you supposed to be performing life-saving brain surgery tomorrow at 3? If so, I think you should probably go in.

I think more info is needed to answer your question, including the specific rules for such things at your place of employment.
