Washington Monument To Reopen After Snow Led To Closure

WASHINGTON (AP) -- If you want to look at the snow blanketing the nation's capital from atop the Washington Monument, you'll get your chance starting at noon.

The National Park Service announced Wednesday that all the monuments and memorials on the National Mall will open at noon. Many, including the Washington Monument, had been closed since Friday.

The District of Columbia received nearly 2 feet of snow. Wednesday was the first day that federal offices reopened, albeit with a 3-hour delay.
