Snowquester? Jeepers Creepers. Washington DC got “hammered” by winter storm Saturn today. So the Federal Government gave all DC-area employees the day off, with pay. But there’s no snow on the roads, as the snow fell with temperatures between 35 and 40F. They got the day off anyhow.
To steal and mangle a line from M*A*S*H, the movie: This isn’t a Federal Government; It’s an insane asylum!
What’s more ludicrous? Well, the Weather Channel’s naming of winter storms is silly, but at least it’s not wasting our money — during a funding sequester. Jeepers Creepers.
