As a general rule, no, the weather is not an acceptable reason for deferring. You are responsible for getting yourself to campus, regardless of weather, traffic, transit strikes, etc.
Having said that, there seems to be an unwritten policy where you get to miss and defer one exam for free...eg you sleep in accidentally, or misread the schedule, or anything of that nature.
If you are able to get a doctor's note then it can't hurt, but as long as you haven't used up your "freebie", then you shouldn't have a problem.
