OPM declares Monday off in Washington, blames snow
OPM Director John Berry convened a conference call with local and state government and transportation officials Sunday afternoon during which they determined a Monday morning commute would be too unsafe, officials said.
THE OFFICE of Personnel management declared that the federal government in the DC area will stay closed on Monday. News agencies reported that the off will cost approximately $100m per day to taxpayers. Despite Monday's operating status, emergency personnel will still report as usual.
The decision also means a day off for most of the region's private sector, which uses the federal government's operating status as a guide. Virtually all academic institutions in the region will also shutter on Monday.
