He may be the country's most famous federal employee, but President Barack Obama wasn't partaking in the government-wide snow day on Monday.

Instead of padding around the White House in sweatpants and slippers, the commander-in-chief suited up for a visit to Walter Reed National Medical Center, where he routinely visits wounded troops undergoing treatment.

As he strode across a snow-free White House South Lawn toward his helicopter, Obama joked he'd cleared the wide swath of grass himself.
