Washington D.C. is currently being bombarded with snowfall, so most government employees thought it would be best to take the day off.

I mean, if it's dangerous, then sure - take the day. But it's pretty typical of the government to do nothing while others go about their business, isn't it?

It’s what makes America the great country that it is. When we last visited DC with our kids, Arlington was a must see.

I hope he was relieved of duty by now. I appreciate the sentiment but they are calling for two feet of snow here.
