The 28 February was a normal working day, and Department offices were open for business. A small number of staff were unable to undertake their normal commute due to weather difficulties, or chose to remain at home due to concern over their evening commute if the weather deteriorated.  Those with remote access worked from home, and others took a day's annual leave or flexi leave.
