They're no postmen:
With Washington still digging out from the weekend snow and expecting more snow beginning Tuesday afternoon, the House leadership put off votes set for Tuesday night, leaving the Congressional schedule for the week uncertain.
House officials said they would reassess Tuesday based on updated weather forecasts, but the decision means that scores of lawmakers will not have to try to return to Washington during the day Tuesday just as another storm was predicted to begin and with the region’s airports still recovering from being shut down over the weekend.
Congress is already scheduled to be out next week for a President’s Day recess and Democratic leaders would prefer not to lose this entire week. But another significant accumulation of snow, estimated at anywhere from 8 to 20 inches by Wednesday, could force them to cancel the remainder of the week and return at the end of the month. An announcement on plans was expected Tuesday afternoon.
Normally I'd make fun of them for being a bunch of wusses, but as anyone who lives in this area can attest, it's been a nightmare for travel ... nearly impossible to get around, even two days afterwards and now they're tossing another foot or so into the mix?
Unless they skip their President's Day recess -- and by the way, what part of "day" don't they understand -- we won't be seeing the usual inaction from Congress for another couple of weeks.
Come to think of it, it'll be business as usual ... with cocoa.
