Re: Snow Storm

I'm not sure how much we actually got here in Milwaukee (they predicted 10-15 inches), but the drifts in some places (like on top of and around my car) are at least 24 inches. The city was pretty much locked down this morning, so of course our meeting was cancelled. Its bright and sunny out right now though! Maybe I should go grab my shovel and start digging.... :rolleyes:

10 degrees? That's a heat wave up here in the North Country of New York, as we have not seen over 0 for a few days now. Often it is said that we don't get a lot of snow because it is too cold to snow. Ever try to start at car when its -25? (Thats not the wind chill.) We had our meeting today as usual today and that was the temp when we left for the high school. Good luck to all that have to dig out from the storm, and drive safely.

Re: Snow Storm

We worked.
We finished out Tic Tac Tetra Tournament, intergrated the robot, named the robot painted the crate, took lots of pictures and video and did alot of work on the animation and the website.
People who needed to leave early left but we got things done.

Re: Snow Storm

Some of our team's committees met today at our facility - I guess the Bobcats didn't make it over to practice? I left just as the snow started falling..

I don't care so much if it snows today, as long as we don't have snow and frigid temperatures for our tailgating party at the UTC New England Regional! Last year it was WAY too cold to stand outside asking everyone to help eat the bagels and donuts!

It's too early in the season to even talk about extensions and I wouldn't hold my breath. There was a couple day extension granted in 2003, but many of the teams it was suppose to benefit, still couldn't get out to work on their robots. What a mess that was. That blizzard happened the last week of the build season.
Every team has it's own set of challenges. For some, it's the weather.

Lucky.

Last year, we had to cancel our FLL tournament due to a blizzard.

Re: Snow Storm

We had our meeting as usual. Not much happened. Although it was hard for some of us to get to our shop because no salt trucks were out yet. So on that note, I pulled out of my sub and almost slid into the corner gas station....pump(Gulp!). Other than that people just went out for a spin(Literally).

Re: Snow Storm

We didn't really get much "new" snow today. We just had to get through the snow that fell last night. (Which was around 3-5 inches.) Good thing we didn't have to cancel because I would consider today a huge day of accomplishment. Hope all you guys getting more snow will make it out ok. :)

Re: Snow Storm

Our super. is kind of a snow-day-nazi (like the soup nazi, but with snowdays) so nothing is ever really canceled. We don't have meetings on sundays but if the snow affects things on monday, then that may be cancelled. I doubt that'll happen though.

Re: Snow Storm

Our meeting ended at 1pm, but that's because we got kicked out of the school, not because of the snow. Now no meeting until Wednesday because of midterms.

Re: Snow Storm

We have 2 inches on the ground here in Blacksburg, and our super. panicked and closed down everything... we already missed Thurs., Fri, and today's 10 hour meeting...

And there isn't even icing...
