Congress Will Not Convene Tomorrow Because of Impending Snowstorm, Hearings Postponed
The House and Senate have decided not to meet tomorrow, March 5, because of an impending major winter storm forecast to affect Washington, DC. All hearings scheduled for tomorrow are likely to be postponed. The two related to space activities definitely will not take place.
The Senate Appropriations CJS subcommittee hearing on NASA’s FY2016 budget request and the Senate Armed Services Committee’s posture hearing on the Army and the Air Force were postponed. No new dates were announced.
Snow is supposed to begin overnight and be at its worst during the day tomorrow. Accumulation forecasts vary, but for the immediate DC area, the range is 4-10 inches. Even 4 inches here is major transportation nightmare.
