"Good morning. It snowed again. The federal government will open two hours late today, and workers have the option for unscheduled leave or unscheduled telework. Most area school systems are closed or have delayed their openings. There's a chance of more snow until 11 AM, then cold and windy-the nominal high of around 41 will feel colder. A low near 24 tonight."
"Democrats are unlikely to give much after the revelation Friday that federal agents fatally shot 23-year-old US citizen Ruben Ray Martinez last year-at least the sixth fatal shooting during President Trump's immigration crackdowns. ( AP) The administration attempted to pass on some of the pain from the shutdown to travelers over the weekend, pausing the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs, but it backed off the PreCheck idea after a ruckus ensued.

Snow prompted a two-hour delayed federal opening with options for unscheduled leave or unscheduled telework. Most area school systems are closed or have delayed openings. More snow is possible until 11 AM, followed by cold, windy conditions with a nominal high near 41 that will feel colder and a low near 24 tonight.

The Department of Homeland Security shutdown is ten days old with no deal; revelations about a fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez have reduced Democratic willingness to concede. The administration briefly moved to pause TSA PreCheck and Global Entry but rescinded the PreCheck pause after backlash, while DHS employees continue working without pay.
