The House will no longer be in session this week, due to the "severity of the winter storm in the D.C. area," according to a notice sent to lawmakers Sunday morning.

It was already scheduled to be a short week, with Democrats holding their annual legislative retreat Wednesday in Baltimore. But due to snarled air traffic in the D.C. area, the House will stay out of session until Feb. 1.


The House had been set to vote this on whether to override President Barack Obama's veto on the GOP reconciliation bill, which would have repealed Obamacare. In addition, a "re-vote" on a bill to increase sanctions on Iran was on the schedule as well. Both votes will be moved to next week, said GOP aides.

In Senate, a judicial nomination vote that was set for Tuesday afternoon has been moved to Wednesday.
