No, the base is not closed. However, because local schools were closed, I'm guessing that many parents chose to stay home with their chillens. In my building, there is probbbly a third of the people actually here at their desks; the others stayed home. Driving around the base at lunchtime, the place looked pretty empty, even though the bad weather ended around 10:00 am. It is actually really pretty out right now - a good temperature, and the sun in shining bright.
