Government Closes Because The Wind In DC Is Wild
Daily Caller, Mar 2, 2018, Thomas Phippen

The federal government closed Friday morning due to high wind and resulting issues like power outages and fear of accidents, the Office of Personnel Management stated.

The powerful storm barreling toward the Northeast resulted in cooler temperatures and wind gusts over 60 MPH, classifying it as an extreme storm in the Washington, D.C., area.

Commuter trains Virginia Railway Express and the Maryland Rail Commuter were canceled, and the Metro was running slower during the above-ground sections. Most area schools were closed, as is the D.C. government, but federal employees who are approved for telework may work from home, GovExec reports.

Seriously, the whole city's shut down.

To be fair this is more of a hurricane (albeit without the rain) than we've experienced in years.   ^-^
