Source: Snow or No, FCC Auction Still a Go

Neither snow, nor more snow, will apparently stay the Federal Communications Commission from getting spectrum into the wireless market. According to an FCC source on background, the H Block spectrum auction is still scheduled to start Jan 22 despite an East Coast snowstorm that closed government offices Jan 21 in Washington and Pennsylvania (the FCC's Gettysburg office is auction central). The H block is the first of three spectrum auctions, the last being the broadcaster incentive auction scheduled for mid-year 2015.
