A major snowstorm battered the US East Coast late Tuesday 9 February, the second in less than a week, forcing Congress in Washington, DC and the United Nations in New York to remain closed Wednesday. Reuters reports that keeping Washington federal workers at home for a third straight day is costly: estimated at $100 million a day. Schools are closed from Boston to Maryland, with 20-32 inches of snow predicted.
