We have 8 inches here. It knocked us out today and probably tomorrow, we are at a point where his could hurt us bad. A couple kids took a bunch of the parts home to work on them. I'm going to build our electrical box at my house! :D Overall this really couldn't have come at a worse time.

Your blizzard is 8 days too early. It would be better if it delayed ship date like a few years back ;)

We'll do our best to pick up the slack by delaying ship date with an earthquake.

We've got plenty of snow here in Leominster, MA. I'm in shorts and a robotics tshirt, so i'm not going to measure it, but the bed of my truck is well past full...if that helps. I'll ty to get a guesstimate before i leave for work.

I don't think it will affect building too much....all we have left is a minor motor problem...we need to pull the gearboxes and fix it...easy enough.


stupid snow.....2wd pickup + too much snow = big ol' mess.

We've got somewhere between 12 and 14 inches of snow, but that isn't stopping our team. Most of us didn't head home until almost midnight last night, and there was only an inch or two on the ground then. And we're still meeting today at noon. Time to start shoveling :D

I'm kind of sad that Syracuse is missing out on a lot of snow this year, we're only at 85" :( (We're still the snowiest though :D )

I stand corrected...in several feet of cold, vehicle blocking snow. Guess I'm not debugging those interrupts today! To be honest I don't know if anyone made it to the shop, we're pretty much shut down.

I just measured 26". And we have 4'3" snow drifts in my back yard.

Snow weighs about 20 pounds per cubic foot, my driveway is about 30 feet long and about 12 feet wide. At roughly 2 feet, that leaves me, if my math is correct, 14,400 pounds to shovel....Not accounting for snow drifts. Better get to work.

Inscrutably, western Washington is experiencing its third day of sunshine in a row. Unfortunately, the school will only let us use its shop with a teacher present, and none are available until Wednesday. So, the week before ship, we have three days when the shop isn't open. We have work teams in garages all over town. Sigh.
