President Barack Obama said Wednesday that D.C. could take a lesson from Chicago in its handling winter weather, The Washington Post reported.
Obama's daughters' school, the Sidwell Friends School, was closed because of winter weather Wednesday, something he said would never happen in Chicago, which has not closed its public schools for weather-related reasons since 1999.
In D.C., many suburban and private schools were closed, and D.C. public schools had a two-hour delay.
A spokesman for the Fairfax County schools told the Post the schools shut down because many parents are not used to icy weather.
