Snow, Snow, Snow!!!!
 

There is snow about 9in in Delaware right now at 1:00pm eastern time.
who else couldnt work on there robots today because of this evil white cold substance?

I live just north of DC, and we have over 11" (1:30 pm). I hear that it won't stop until late monday, so no chance of getting in today or monday. I just hope we can get there early tuesday to finish boxing it up.

we were trying to build a stack of 'snow boxes' with snow packed into the totes...but it wouldn't pack very well...

that would been a great picture!

NE PA is supposed to be hit this evening around midnight. I've heard everything from 2-3" to 14" :) My guess is 3" As long as we have power, we'll be okay :P

(uhg...i'm dumb...it's still evulish :) i don't feel like signing out then back in...so i'll just be weedie for a little while...buah)

The snow won't hit us until mid-morning. The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Monday through Monday night. We're due for 4"-6".

we've got 2-3 feet predicted for our area.

By the way, see the weather channel a while ago?

NY 12-24 in

PA 1-2 ft

(They did this because us PA folks only can count as high as our fingers. (10))

I live in Sac, CA. So it doesn't snow much. Last year we got some slush though :)

all right:

I hate my life :)

-- Here i am stuck in Detroit Mich. I've been putting up with 10 degree weather for two months now. FINALLY, it decides to snow. BUT NOOOOO... the weather god decides that we shouldn't get any. Daaaa.... I want to miss school :(

Could anyone who's getting a ton of it send some to Rochester Hills MI??? - please?? :]

Just be sure to direct it towards his end of Rochester Hills. I hate snow.

What kills me is the only people who ever seem to want snow are the ones who never see it. We poor folks in Rochester, New York have over 114 inches and sub-zero temperatures. I'll gladly trade with any Californian, Floridian or Texan for a week. :)

Oh no, I live in Louisiana and I'm perfectly content to be snow-less. Aaahh, it's wonderful. :p

Haha. Snow is no matter! The last time I checked we had maybe 6"...but I have no idea. I woke up and an adult told me my car was moved so it wouldn't get hit by the plow. I looked out the window and fell back onto my blanket :D Many people made it in...and then there were people like me who didn't actually leave. Around here, snow won't stop much...trucks are common :D We should still be able to get the crate to where we ship from.

Actually we were out in the courtyard (mall area under cover) out running (trying to anyway) in the field and it started to rain blowing in from the open sides. Water and electronics don't mix and we had to call it a day. I hear you guys up north got blizzard warnings. Hope you all can get to the shop! (I'm originally from East Meadow, New York, out on Long Island...just east of Uniondale where the NY Islanders play at the Nassau Coliseum and where I believe the Goodwill Games took place in 1990s...after 1996- I know that much cause it was in planning when I moved to FL after graduating from 5th grade in June of 96) Have fun shoveling!

In Columbus there is over a foot of snow...maybe 16 inches! this is the most snow I've seen here in years! It's ridiculous! I can't get my car out of the parking lot so it's just been sitting there getting buried under the snow! But it would definitly be fun to go snowboarding in it!

Here in RI, it started around 5am, and I think we have more than 6 inches already, and it's still coming down hard. The NWS has now changed it to 6"-12".

STAND BACK! There's a- well, you get the idea.

thank FIRST for that extinison we were thinks of sled dogs to ship

the snow was great!!! it gave us friday off of school and a FULL day to play w/ ROBOTS!!:cool:

Snow is crazy. This morning it took my brother twice the time to drive to the school for robotics. We ended up working on the robot for 12 hours today. Tt was interesting when we were trying to get out of the school parking lot, but at least it had stopped snowing.

The snow's timing was very convenient. The 2 extra days are definitly going to be put to use..! ;)

TEAM snowball fights are the best

Well, when it was all over (let it be known that it was still snowing around 03:00), we had to have at least a foot out there... some drifts though were taller than me. Sadly, I already have the week off from school, so no "snow days" off. :(

We were going to drive the robot on Monday but we got about 23 inches of snow up here in Massachusetts so we had to put that off for tuesday and wensday. I'm glad they extended the ship date because we would not have a robot.

Snow is wonderful, and makes the driving a lot more fun ;)

Altho, I gotta say, you Americans have out-snowed us (Canadians) this year by quite a bit. Looks like you're now the great-white-south. lol

But, we still have more than enough for donoughts, 540's, etc in the snow w/ the cars...yay :)

(psst - do your school parking lots ever get plowed? Our's dont...they're heaven for having fun in the snow w/ ones' car)

I really wish we could get some snow here, I'm from PA really(actually the same county as a team here...anybody know any one from William Penn High?)

Anyway here in WA they made some rule that we can't get any real snow (they will cancel school for 3 inches of snow...I kid you not...)

I can't believe you people don't love the stuff! I miss it so much...

We couldn't drive, conditions were so bad here in New Jersey.

I'm glad FIRST gave us an extra 2 days: otherwise we would not have been able to finish up tweaking and packing.

stuck...
 

please...lets talk about how i was stuck in NYC for 72 hours due to this snow...


Look snow...

Even more snow...

Can you believe all the snow?

let me try this...

wow

*cries because she misses snow*

REMEMBER KIDS...NEVER EAT YELLOW SNOW

Yeah, that can be scary can't it?

We havn't gotten that this year (for a change...lol).

It's all about the dump-trucks that take the snow away.

In my town, they couldn't use the normal plows in some places: they put caterpiller bulldozers on flatbed trucks to clear out the nastier areas.

I haven't seen this much snow since 1996: and I was too yuong to really remember: I was only 10-11 then.

If you really want snow, I've seen some for sale on eBay :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=14 68

.. that is INSANE. Anyone who'd actually buy a jar of snow on ebay is even more crazy.

.... I'll have to go find someone w/ an ebay account so that they can place a bid for me ;)

there are some pretty wierd things on EBAY....

Yeah, like a little while ago, someone bought a piece of used gum that was chewed by a famous person for $1000. It was also placed in a jar.

Yeah here in Vernon, CT we have gone from the blizzard of 2003 to the flood of 2003 cause we have been getting rain since early this morning and it still hasnt let up. Unfortunatly the snow hadn't all melted so it isnt helping the situation any.


[sarcasm]I just saw my neighbor go by in a row boat[/sarcasm]

I am glad that the robot is shipped so that it hopefully isn't floating down a river. lol
