Rabbis are not required to potentially lose their lives over weather — or, at least, not any more than non-rabbis.
If the weather is inclement to point where there is a real potential for loss of life, yes, the shul should be closed.
If something happened last minute, I’m not sure what you want the rabbi to do about it. Build a time machine to go back in time and warn everyone to stay home?
