Found this link to the story: http://community.tasteofhome.com/forums/p/772753/6584326.aspx

So I get the whole new apps are delayed because offices are closed so they get held over to a new week. This just means their bump of the slower week was bogus, big surprise!

But this perplexes me:

"Some experts say the snowstorms may have cost the economy as many as 100,000 jobs in February."

WTH would they have been doing in February that has been scraped?

Clearly you have that backwards. Joblessness is manmade, therefore joblessness causes Climate Change. Every time a person gains or loses a job, the climate changes a little. It's science. Look it up.
