The second season of House of Cards begins streaming on Netflix at 3:01 a.m. ET on Friday, but that’s not soon enough for anxious fans trapped indoors due to a snowstorm socking the East Coast with heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain.
Several people have been tweeting that Netflix should release the political drama on Thursday due to the snow day many people have taken, including residents of Washington, D.C., which has already received 11 inches of snow.

There’s even a Change.org petition to get Netflix to release House of Cards a day early, but it only has 52 signatures, despite multiple tweets linking to it.
A rep for Netflix confirmed that the show would still be released at its scheduled time on Friday morning.
Read some of the tweets in support of an early House of Cards release below.
Hey @netflix want to reconsider your release time of @HouseofCards ? DC has a snow day. And let’s be real, we are the core viewership.

Hey @netflix how about releasing @HouseofCards early in honor of the snow day?

Hey @netflix, literally no one on east coast (read: people that MATTER) can do anything today due to snow so just upload @HouseofCards today

.@netflix , the entire east coast has a snow day (including the heart of HOC fandom: DC). Release House of Cards now!

If @netflix released Season 2 of @HouseofCards today during the DC snow day, it would be so brilliant (and amazing).

The smart move would be for @netflix to release House of Cards a day early, since everybody in D.C.’s got a snow day anyways.

This glorious snow day would be complete if @netflix dropped House of Cards on us a day early. #WhatWouldFrancisDo
