Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

Our team is in the 24+ section. Right now the school will be closed Friday, Saturday, and possibly Sunday.

I think a few of us will get together to finalize the design of the last mechanisms and plan out the leftover work so once we get back up and running it is all speed ahead.

A bigger question is if the machinists at our sponsors shop will be able to make the trip up from Boston to make parts. If not we are in big trouble.

1058 is not happy at all about this storm. The amount of snow we are getting could mean the loss of a whole weekend during build (we live in southeast NH). This could throw a big wrench in our plan for finishing our robot on time this year. To the team's not affected by the storm, consider yourselves lucky. To the team's not affected by the storm: do what you can to work, but not at the cost of driving in bad conditions, the last thing we want is for someone to get hurt over building a robot.

Stay safe everyone!

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

As of approximately an hour ago, 157's lost our whole weekend. We do not have school tomorrow nor do we are we allowed to be in our school (our build site) on Saturday or Sunday.

Guess we'll have to make due with tonight!

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

Hey Jay can both our teams crash Mike's shop for the weekend and collaborate the remainder of our robots! ;)

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

But then all of the secrets of our robot will be exposed!:p We're lucky to have a possible place to go instead of our school, since the school will close, hopefully the roads won't get too bad!

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

You're expecting over 2-feet of accumulation. That's not even accounting for drifting. I'll be surprised if you can make it out the door.

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

Delaware ... Mostly rain, possibly some very wet "snow" Friday night. We might take the robot to a mentor house tonight just in case...

*sigh* I'd like to not be able to see my front yard because of all the snow.

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

I'm just currently in denial about missing a weekend of robotics. This is one of those storms where I'm hoping that the weather channel is wrong. Over 2 feet of snow is just ridiculous, something you'll only find in New England (and probably Canada)

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

Only 2 feet! :rolleyes: ;)

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

In other words, Just a dusting.

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

I'm sorry, I forgot that you Northeasters are accustomed to digging tunnels through four feet of snow to get to school every winter. :rolleyes:

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

They may dig in the north east... up here in Minnesota, we just pull out the snow shoes and climb out the second story window :D

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

In Ohio, we just cancel everything, from work to religious services, and stay home watching the news and weather people on TV freak out about this mystical white material falling from the sky.

It's fun for the first ten minutes. Then you realize that they're interrupting your favorite show.

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

And the Mid-Atlantic in 2010.
And 2003.
3 feet worth.
I remember 2003 because we lost 11 days of the build season due to the white stuff culminating in a blizzard over 5 days where couldn't build and couldn't ship.

Re: Winter Storm Nemo
 

But at least they pushed out the ship day in 2003 (and 2001) a couple of days. Now we have no excuse not to bag and tag.
