The winter storm that has buried Washington under record-breaking snow has forced Congress to change plans, including the cancellation of key House votes, including one on Iran sanctions, according to Fox News.

The announcement was made by California GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy, whose duties as House majority leader is to set the chamber’s voting schedule.

As the storm approached late last week, McCarthy cancelled scheduled votes for Monday. But he has now told chamber members not to "expect" votes on Tuesday and Wednesday “due to the severity of the winter storm."
