The record snowfall that hit the Washington, D.C., area in the past week created havoc for the federal government, the District government, and probably all metropolitan area residents. With two near-blizzards dumping three feet of snow on a region that normally gets 15 inches of snow in an entire season, even the hardiest residents knew that they would be snowbound for days. Schools closed for a week and the federal government shut down for three and a half days, costing an estimated $350 million in lost productivity, according the Office of Personal Management. To make matters worse, the Washington Area Metropolitan Transit system was twice forced to halt above ground transportation, both bus and rail. People who made it into work on Friday were stuck in five-hour traffic jams that normally would take less than an hour to complete.
However, you describe it, the last week in the nation's capital was a HOT mess!
