Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

So far we have had 2 days off of school, which has not stopped us from meeting but this is a sign of the apocalypse, they never cancel school for our district. We may have more though...

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

Today makes two. We're getting the very edge of that storm that's supposed to be causing havoc to the east. No snow though, just really cold. Cancelled after school activities yesterday in anticipation of bad weather, and cancelled school altogether today because of "dangerously cold temperatures," which in this case means been below zero all day

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

0. Officially today was cancelled but we had a few students who still worked on the robot today. We will be working on the robot tomorrow as well.

Today you could consider us "effected" in that an Andymark order for our drivetrain got held up in chicago delaying our robot progress.

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

This year we decided to only work 4 days a week on the robot. Today was the first day we canceled due to weather. Every other snow day the students had we told them to be at the shop at 10am so we could work, given they could get there safely of course.

Lost a half-hour on Monday and our meeting tonight due to the public schools closing. We're also in the boat of not being able to meet when public schools close. Hopefully we can meet on Friday evening and for longer than usual on Saturday.

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

seven days and still counting. :) :)

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

3 (and probably the 4th one tonight)

But a small group of students and parents have been meeting at our sponsor to get the machining done.:D

Boston Public Schools has had 5 snowdays and we had at least 3 days that all after school activates canceled...

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

0 days, the current temperature in Orlando is 73°. Good luck northern teams.

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

Today will be the 5th day we have missed. Which is about average for us. I am hopeful that we will be in school tomorrow, since the storm will have left us, but there is still a lot of ice around and the temperature is supposed to drop to single digits, so who knows?

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

Today is the first day that no one coul dgo work on the robot because of the snow storm. All schools are closed today and maybe tmorrow too. We wanted to get the robot done by friday for programmers to work on it for the last week. :mad:

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

Tech's been out for 2 days so far, but the rest of the week is canceled... weather shows more coming in Sunday and Monday... a possible week and a half to two weeks... :( the entire state of Oklahoma is out of school... is it possible for FIRST to extend deadlines like a few years ago?? I went outside earlier and there is a drift the covers the entire road for a half mile in both directions that's over five feet deep... Tractors cant even get through them... Unless the county grades the roads we're looking at being snowed in for 2 weeks.........

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

We are up to 4 days lost because of snow.

Re: How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.
 

Our team 384, we havent lost any days, but school has been cancled and we still met for our meetings. As for that extension for first, i doubt that would happen, last year we lost about a week, yet no extension, cause if there was an extension all the regionals would be postponed a week, and they cant do that since all the regional events have been booked and set for their respective dates.
