Pray!
Seriously, you just can't do what you can't do. If you have the ability to record and distribute, and if you actually could make it to church to preach yourself, do whatever you can to let folks know that it was good, and that they can get a copy.
My first year here, third week after I arrived, we had record snowfall and high winds on a Sunday. The sheriff closed the roads, but my worship leader got there, and most of the band, so we had worship for those who were there. That's the key - those who can get there need to have an experience of worship, and some are just not going to make it. Don't worry about those who aren't there more than those that are. It's the only time you get to say it that way. :)
But prayer helps. We prayed for the 21st and Christmas Eve, and both times the storms slowed up long enough for us to get church in and then the snow fell. I'm not Pat Robertson or anything, but I think it never hurts to pray. :)
The only thing you can do besides pray is to show up and have worship for those who make it. At one service this winter we had only 17 people due to snow so the worship team lead worship and I preached a modified version of the sermon with Q & A. It was a good experience for those who attended. I am always surprised by who shows up and who doesn't.
On Christmas eve the snow slowed down enough for us to do our two Christmas eve services and almost a majority of the people who attended were from the community who are not connected to the church. Christmas Eve was an unplanned outreach service. It was an awesome night despite the weather. God is good.
