Delayed Closure Notification

I got the following helpful message from the Office of Personnel Management this afternoon:

The following message applies only to Tuesday, February 13, 2007

The Federal government in the Washington, D.C. area will close at 2:00 pm, today, Tuesday, February 13 due to pending inclement weather, except for emergency personnel.

Road conditions are expected to deteriorate later this afternoon and it is essential to get Federal workers home before dark so transportation authorities can treat the roads.

We will continue to monitor weather conditions and announce the status of government for tomorrow as soon as possible.

It would have been even more helpful had it not also included the following line: "Sent: Tue 2/13/2007 2:22 PM."
