Or don't.

At 1:45 this afternoon, the city's department of transportation (that would be the people charged with clearing the streets of ice and snow) sent out an alert warning commuters to leave work as soon as possible "to avoid [the pending] snowstorm."

According to the email (which shows that, in the wake of angry commuters during the last snow, SDOT isn't taking any chances), "SDOT has been aggressively pre-treating roadways, elevated structures and city owned pedestrian pathways in preparation for the storm. While pre-treatment work will aid in clearing roadways, the storm’s arrival during the evening rush hour will likely create disruptions."

On the other hand, according to local weather guru Cliff Mass, who initially predicted snow, is now saying "the rush hour will NOT be significantly impacted by snow."

So everybody go back to work.
