Calling in for something that may happen, even if it eventually did happen, doesn't look good. Especially on your 2nd day, I'd probably fire you or at least a last warning would be given.
I've ran 24 - 7 operations before, we count on the people that make it to work prior to the event. If it gets bad enough that others can't come in then it's normally bad enough that it's not save to leave either. We normally asked those workers to stay and pay overtime. If it continues long enough then we'll set up some type of sleeping and off time areas.
Exception for really big things like hurricanes, wild fires, floods, where they are predicted at almost 100% and even being on the outskirts would not be safe.
Funny, no matter how bad the weather gets, I normally have some people call in but I seldom have any ask or say they have to stay because they are predicting or the weather is too bad to go home.
I called in on my 2nd because of a bad snowstorm
