DC really is a mess—several inches of snow.

It would be nothing here in CT but DC cannot handle it.

Snow looked pretty bad around the Capitol a few hours ago, so this is not a surprise. One more day will not make a difference.

I'd say it's a legit reason for delay.

DC cannot handle it.

Having grown up in New England and now in DC I can tell you that there are two problems. First it is warmer here and so snow turns to ice immediately. Second the drivers operate their cars like they operate your tax money.

Yeah—driving in DC during even moderate snow is horrific.

Third, they only use "all season" tires.

Republicans are the weakest, most feeble bunch of panty waists on the planet. These Republicans are still governing and fighting like they believe they are one big chummy club. Democrats slit Republican’s political throats, and Republicans fight to maintain decorum. They are hopeless.

It’s a mess here. It’s been snowing for about 5 hours.

DC doesn’t deal well with this, because we get it so infrequently.

If they want to play these stupid games and schedule it at midnight, I say march their arses to the Capitol and have the vote. When I was working snow and bad traffic weren’t excuses for me.

"member snot"

I know what you meant to say, but this is better.

I think scheduling it for midnight may have had something to do with Vance getting back in time to oversee.

That is why Trump issued an EO for snow.
