Every single person will want to, but how many actually need to? Clearly it all depends what kind of business you're in, and how often adverse weather like that happens and how long it lasts (I'm speaking from a UK perspective where every few years there's two flakes of snow which cause carnage but have usually melted within a few days...), but if the result of a disrupted commute is that the HR people can't get to their email for a few days, the world isn't going to stop (see also: bus factor). There's always remote access too - Citrix/SSH/RDP/VNC into your machine from afar, avoids having to install crap on your personal machine and the company still has control of their IP.
