Amid a partial shutdown due to an impasse over President Trump’s promised border wall, the federal government was shutdown Monday due to winter weather in Washington, D.C, according to Politico.

Snowflakes, one and all.
We here in the Midwest survived our bigly snow storm in awhile, this too shall pass.
The Federal government is shut down due to the ignorance and stupidity of the administration.
That it snowed in DC over the weekend is a mere inconvenience.
The snow will be removed and gone by tomorrow. The Federal government will still be shut down due to the ignorance and stupidity of the administration.
Big difference. It should be highlighted relentlessly all day.
At least federal employees working without pay will get a day off, without pay, but at least it’s a day off.
Having lived in the Midwest as well as the East Coast, I note that the Midwest is flat and the roads are straight lines. A Chicago native friend moved to DC a few years ago and during the first snowfall, skidded down a hill and around a curve and totaled his car. Cities above DC have the equipment and budget to clean up. DC and south, not so much.
