You read that right. It’s a big storm when even the Smithsonian shutters their doors for a couple days. According to their website:
“Due to the heavy snow, all Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo will be closed to the public today, Saturday, Dec. 19 and tomorrow, Sunday, Dec. 20.”
The last time we think that happened was in 1996, which certainly puts this storm in the historic category.
