Congressmen Blast D.C. for Snow Day: ‘Wimps’

It’s a snow day here in our nation’s capital. D.C. public schools, the federal government, and all universities are closed. Some parts of the city got up to six inches of powder. That’s reason for excitement, right?

Not to some lawmakers.

“Wimps,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) wrote on Twitter. “Snowing in DC and they close the government. Imagine if the rest of the country closed when it snowed.”

Wimps. Snowing in DC and they close the government. Imagine if the rest of the country closed when it snowed.

Another lawmaker pledged to keep his D.C. office open, despite the snow hype:

A few inches of snow won’t stop my DC staff from working. Give us a call if there is anything we can do for you. #DCSnowDay #BuffaloStrong
