This is not a new phenomena. I can remember an ice storm in the early 80's 
where I walked (slid) to work at 10pm because no one else could get to work 
and then stayed three days because the power lines were down all over New 
Haven.  Also remember as a nursing student being asked to stay extra hours 
because people couldn't get in.   

Most hospitals do have some mechanism of housing their staff once they get 
there and have to stay for an extended period. The issue comes when their 
staff can't get there and people have to cover. 

Ahhh, the good old days.

If you're going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance.
