Snow Cripples Washington D.C.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management announced that Federal Government offices in Washington D.C. will be closing tomorrow, Monday, Dec. 21st 2009. Nonemergency employees will be let off the hook to stay home for a bad weather snow day, due to the massive snow storm that crippled the northeast and canceled flights from Dulles and Reagan Airports all the way to Providence and Boston.
