Re: Snow Storm
 

I think they added on 2 or so days to certain teams that were nailed by the snow.. down in VA, we havent had school Thurs or Fri, but the 'skeleton' crew got together both days, but weve been forbidden to get together this weekend.. but even if were out monday, robotics must go on.. wether the school supports it or not!
j
p.s- those not fimiliar with Richmond snow- 1in of snow knock school out for 2+ days :-D ...now the more richmondish winter weather is here- freezing rain and sleet..

Re: Snow Storm
 

We had to cancel this morning because of the insane snowfall. This is not a good thing for a rookie team who's going to be pushing it to finish a robot in time anyways... Ahhh!!! Snow, snow go away, come back after build season, ea?

Re: Snow Storm
 

We have like a foot and a half in some places and we are still meeting lol

go michigan

Re: Snow Storm
 

nya... we're so behind right now, we don't even have our ideas on paper... we needed today, but West Ottawa cancelled everything, I mean we are practically snowed in. *cries* We'll never get our robot done if this snow keeps bombarding us like it is...

Re: Snow Storm
 

We had our meeting today but around 9 o'clock or so they told us to start calling home for a ride but we could leave when we wanted too. But by the time I left the roads where really bad. I hope that the weather gets better so that everyone can have the robot built completely in time to ship.

Re: Snow Storm
 

What is this 'snow' you speak of? I live in Arizona! :cool:

Re: Snow Storm
 

Here in Canada EH. WE be watchin the snow come down from our shop. Not a lot of kids showed up but alot being accomplished. We be lovin this stuff. Everything sooo clean and crisp. AH, the Great White North, Land of The Blizzard.

Like sand storms but it melts.

Re: Snow Storm
 

Our meeting was canceled. We needed today to do robotics, because our school is weird and we have finals now so that means that we won't have enough time to meet during the week because all our members will be to busy studying.

Re: Snow Storm
 

We're still meeting as scheduled, but we're prepared to cut out early if the snow gets to be too much. I don't think it's actually started yet... So we'll see!
Of course, this is NH.. we're used to it!

Re: Snow Storm
 

We met at 9am today, hoping to go to 5pm as usual, but we stopped at 2pm due to the weather. The roads are thick with snow.

On MLK Jr Day, the normal meeting time of 5pm-9pm got cut off at 7:30pm.

We really hope FIRST extends the ship date again this year. The current ship date is during our 1-week winter break while last few years it's been the Tuesday afterwards.

Re: Snow Storm
 

We cancelled today's meeting (we have only reached 6" so far, but at least half of our team lives more than a 1/2-hour away)..

But hey, since we're still waiting on the aluminum, it's ok :P

Re: Snow Storm
 

we don't meet on the weekends anyway... so it's not too big of an issue for us. still working on stuff like programming at home though.

Re: Snow Storm
 

That was a smart move!
In NYC, everything was canceled this morning because the schools won't be open.
Our Manhattan FLL Tournament and the Sunday Long Island FLL Tournament was canceled.
I ran to the local library and got a couple of books, tapes, and DVDs for the long weekend. I still have my LEGO to play with... hehe. :)

Re: Snow Storm
 

It started pretty early here this morning, before 10 I think. We started to get "booted out" of the shop around 2 or so. A few went down to our playing field building at the other end of town, before heading home. I quickly decided against it when I had to put the Jeep in 4wd to get up a street in town. Oh well, ride out the storm, stay safe everyone. :]
