House to skip town because of storm

By Russell Berman - 03/05/13 05:23 PM ET

The House is skipping town early because of a snowstorm headed for the nation's capital.

Republican leaders sent a notice to members late Tuesday afternoon announcing that the House would hold votes on Wednesday morning and then depart for the week.


The change means that lawmakers will vote a day earlier than expected on a stopgap spending bill keeping the federal government open through the end of September. The House had been scheduled to meet on Thursday before leaving for the weekend.

The National Weather Service is predicting a winter storm on Wednesday will dump several inches of snow on Washington and the mid-Atlantic region. The new schedule calls for final votes before 1 p.m.

The storm could still wreak havoc for Congress — the votes are now scheduled to occur at the peak of the predicted snowfall.

Unlike major Northeastern cities, Washington is notorious for virtually shutting down in the face of even moderate snowfall.

Too bad they have nothing to do to keep them busy all week and/or that they are so scared of a little snow they leave town (on the taxpayers dollar) while the common folks of the Washington area have to stay and ride it out like 99.9 % of folks in the country do with a snowstorm...

Your Messiah should be the first to go. The SOB has done nothing but get us further in debt than all other Presidents COMBINED. Yet he always maintains plausible deniability for whatever happens, and feebs like yourself have given his sorry ass a pass for over 4 years now. :roll:

You really can't see the forest for the trees, can you?? :shock:

How about all the time obama was golfing and not working old timer?

How about all those poor people that have to spend their entire winter braving the cold working and paying their taxes, while the Obama's take seperate TAX PAYER FUNDED jets to warm winter resorts in a state half way around the world from their private mansion in windy old Chicago. Oldtimer b*tchs about the time Bush spent vacationing at his ranch but not a word about all the time Obama's vacation everywhere BUT THEIR OWN HOME. :roll:

Keep in mind, they work on salary and not by the hour. We are paying their wages, no matter what. They'd just as put in some time.

'Snowquester': Massive DC snowstorm shuts down federal government and city

A House Science Committee hearing on global warming won't go on after all — the committee's environmental subpanel has just announced that it's postponing this morning's session on climate change "due to weather."

so congress stayed a day later than you claimed they would, and the Leftist Global warming crowd had to leave early, due to the cold and snow?
