LOLObama Scoffs at Sidwell's Snow Closing | NBC Washington
It's no secret that D.C.-area schools have a history of closing at the drop of a snowflake.
Watch VideoPresident Barack Obama laughs at D.C.-area schools' reaction to a little snow and ice.

The weather outside turned frightful overnight, as snow turned to freezing rain.
But the concept seems very foreign to President Barack Obama, who experienced the practice firsthand Wednesday when his daughters' school, Sidwell Friends, closed due to snow and ice.
"My children's school was canceled today, because of what, some ice?" Obama said during a photo opportunity with economic leaders, who began chuckling. "As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled. In fact, my 7-year-old pointed out that you go out for recess. You wouldn't even stay indoors."
Obama said he would have to instill "some flinty Chicago toughness" into Washingtonians.
"When it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things," he said.
We have been mocked at for years and now our president is mocking us!!! Too funny!
I live in chicago and its really really cold, very cold, I'm telling you...(shivers) its like around -3 degrees now I think. But I'm already laughing at the fact that obama's daughters didn't have school and they complained about it haha.
When I saw this on the news yesterday or whatsover, I was like WHAT!!??
Lol
