Gov. Delays

   I'm pretty new to slugging, and haven't experienced it during inclement weather. When there's a government delay, are the slug lines thereby delayed as well? Is there a way to find out those kinds of notifications?

	Remember that gov't delays mean you CAN come in up to x hours later than normal. That doesn't mean everyone automatically comes in x hours later, it's more of a staggered arrival time. You will see a decrease in the number of slugs/drivers at your usual morning hour but there will still be people coming to work at the normal time. There will also be a lot of people choosing to telework or just stay home so overall the slug lines will have less volume but may spread out over a longer time period in the morning.
