It’s snowing so hard in Washington today that they are grounding all buses and surface trains. It’s not going to stop anytime soon.

There’s already a foot of snow on the ground, and it’s falling so thick that the path is covered with a half-inch of snow before the shovel reaches the end of the walk.

This may sound like no big deal in climes such as Chicago or other Northern realms -- and in Nebraska, a state that has a certain relevance in Washington today -- but it hardly ever snows like this in the nation’s capital.

It’s lovely, the silence. Yet this hasn’t stopped the Senate’s Democratic leaders from pressing for passage of a healthcare bill before Christmas. For more details, go to the Swamp.
