Smithsonian's Museum Support Center Suffers Snowy Roof Collapse

We here in Chicago, as we’re sure you in “real” winter climates do, always snicker to ourselves a bit when Washington DC area complains about the snow or the cold. As President Obama put it when a snow day was called there last year, “”Folks in Washington don’t seem to be able to handle things.” But despite the foot or so of snow we got earlier this week, we’ve had a pretty easy season. We certainly haven’t had it so bad that pieces of our museum archives are caving in.
