I asked my boss and he confirmed that this is, indeed, the basis of our Corporate Inclement Weather Policy:
On May 19, 1780 ,
an unexplained, near-total darkness
fell over much of New England , at midday . The more superstitious
believed that doomsday had come. In New
Haven , Connecticut ,
Colonel Abraham Davenport spoke out against adjourning the town council on
account of the darkness. He said: "I am against adjournment. The day of
judgment is either approaching or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause
for adjournment. If it is, I choose to be found doing my duty. I wish,
therefore, that candles may be brought."

I would go to heaven a little sad if I skimped on time with family and friends but I will have no regrets at all for snow days from school or work. 'Lord why did you make me spend so many hours at my job?" "Make you! I sent you all those glorious snow days didn't I!"
Leta, I'm not sure I understand your post. At your work, you only get off for judgement day or is there a supply of candles kept for, as Foghorn Leghorn says, "just such an emergency"?
