Federal Government will be closed According to OPM: www.opm.gov
The federal government will be closed on Monday in the Washington area, according to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM: www.opm.gov), as the region continues to plow out of an historic snowstorm.
OPM Director John Berry decides when to close federal offices in the Washington area. He 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.
Approximate cost to taxpayers is around $100m per day closed. But go ahead and enjoy that snow day anyway.
Berry mandated unscheduled leave last Wednesday and Friday due to the snow. Monday's closure is the first closure of the calendar year and the second of the Obama administration.
