Historic snowfall near the nation's capital caused this snowstorm to be dubbed "Snowpocalypse" or "Snowmageddon" -- the federal government shut down, schools canceled classes, and stores posted signs that they were sold out of snow shovels, milk and eggs.
People were asked to “shelter in place” and not try to travel on roads that were impassable.
In the middle of “Snowpocalypse,” the Sodexo food service at George Mason University in northern Virginia didn’t skip a beat. During the snowy weekend, the dining room served more than 2,400 people, including about 200 cold and hungry facilities workers charged with snow removal.
