I tagged this 'bullying' for a subtle reason.

The discussion is mostly going in two directions about the two subjects of the letter: 1) the snow day policy and 2) the chilling effect of manager's expressed opinions. The latter is what interests me. If I were LW I wouldn't take that day and I might find a way to point that out to the manager, who has made it clear that she's going to think the LW is lazy if she takes it. Probably unintentionally the manager has discouraged the LW for taking her rightful time off, but skipping some time off is better than being unemployed, and in 49 of 50 states, barring protections, one's manager can fire one for anything non-protected they want to, at any time, on any day. I can never forget that fact.
