After a blizzard, only female senators show up to US Senate

Post-blizzard, Sen. Murkowski notes that only women turned up to run the Senate – The Washington Post

“Perhaps it speaks to the hardiness of women,” she added, “that put on your boots and put your hat on and get out and slog through the mess that’s out there.”

(If you want to parse exactly what this means, Snopes has a good article up.)
