Nature vs. Mankind: Weather Shuts Down Government Again

The U.S federal government isn't exactly going through the best of times. A lot of economic struggles have led to the recent government shutdown last year. Eventually, the government got back on its feet and started running again, only for Mother Nature herself to attack now. The weather has been a loose cannon all winter, with temperatures reaching low depths that hasn't been seen for a long time. With many snowstorms and frequent snowfalls, the weather reports have been spiked with news on the latest city to be hit with extreme weather conditions. However, the repetition is broken as the latest weather related news features shocking political implications for the U.S: the government has shut down again. The weather conditions are so harsh in Washington, the government has called the day off and is going through another temporary shutdown, until the weather lightens up enough for workers to make it to the offices. Many American citizens will no longer regard the weather as a major inconvenience, but now a fully fledged problem. They will now have to hope more than ever that winter subsides, but that hope is still not too bright. Spring is officially less than 20 days away, but the snow is melting not fast enough. The temperature is so cold, 90% of the Great Lakes is frozen. All Americans can do now is hope...
