His motorcade made it a few blocks through deserted streets so he could speak at the Democratic National Committees winter meeting on Saturday.
In his opening remarks, Obama thanked activists for being willing to brave the blizzard. The streets around the hotel where the meeting was held were blocked by snow and police ahead of Obamas arrival.
California Rep. Mike Honda was delayed on the slow-running subway. Other officials who stumbled into the hotel were caked in snow and ice. Obama said he saw a sign that said “Californians for Obama” - and he joked that “you guys arent used to this.”
The party chairman, Tim Kaine, said “its like an April day in Chicago” - thats Obamas hometown.
