Photo by philliefan99That’s right, I said it, snow motion. You see, we are getting more snow on Tuesday. Plus the Super Bowl is about to come on, and professional football sometimes features slow-motion replays. So it’s not slow motion, it’s snow motion!
Alright: maybe I deserve one of these. But it doesn’t change the fact that the DMV area is facing back-to-back snowpocalypses. The Capital Weather Gang notes that we’re on track for the snowiest winter in a century. And in fact, this snowstorm could push us over the edge. If we get even one more inch of snow on Tuesday afternoon, this will be the second-snowiest winter in recent memory. It doesn’t sound terribly likely — 4 to 8 inches is what the CWG is predicting — but if the District gets another 9 inches of snow, it will have seen more snow than in the terrifying blizzard of 1898–99. That record was made so long ago, they didn’t even have hashtag puns!
But take heart, District of Columbia. The Office of Personnel Management has announced that the federal government and the many, many employees who adhere to its schedule do not have to come into work on Monday. The federal government is closed tomorrow, and OPM kindly announced the fact just in time for variously employed fans of the Colts, Saints, and alcohol to get hammered. Go OPM!
