I can't take any more snow! Now when do I pick up the kid?

More snow today. I'm at work now, kiddo in DC. Snow is supposed to start soon, getting heavier from 1-4pm (1 inch / hour) tapering off after 5-7pm. Can't decide if I should leave early and try to beat the snow (waking kiddo up from nap) or chance that the snow will have stopped and the roads clear by 5 when I have to pick up kiddo.

WWYD?

    With this winter I would err on the side of caution. Too many stalls/wipe-outs to count.

    Can you leave at lunch (so work 1/2 day), pick kiddo up before nap and then do some work from home during nap?

    Are you in MA/New England? If so, I have read/heard the evening commute is going to be a mess. I might leave early as well to avoid getting stuck in the car for hours with your little one.

    This is what I did recently with similar snowfall timing. Daycare actually closed at 1, but I would have picked up then anyways.

    I would leave before the snow is supposed to start.  If he naps at home maybe you can get some work done.

    I am in MD and we are having a similarly sucky winter.  Today DS finally has school after a 5-day weekend and he is sick.  I cannot win.  If I don't get fired soon it will be shocking.

    Daycare solved the problem for me by closing at 3.
    Fortunately the roads were well treated and very slushy.
    The nature of my work is such that I can't work from home so every snow day I take causes me to fall behind.
