| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
|  The White House might appropriately be called the Whiteout House after a huge winter storm pummeled Washington, D.C., and must of the Northeastern United States. A full foot of snow well in the nation's capital while some parts of New York were buried under nearly 23 inches of snow -- the heaviest since December 1947. Airports in the region were forced to close and tens of thousands of homes lost electricity. Winds reportedly reached speeds of 50 miles per hour. New York's 353 snow trucks spread over 200,000 tons of salt to clear off 6,300 miles of roadways. |
