Re: Snow days are killing us

In our area (Stayner Ontario) whenever they close the roads the snowmobile trails are open and the build continues! It also helps that our primary workspace is a snowmobile recycling and repair shop. As a matter of fact many kids ride sleds to school because you can get a snowmobile operator's card at age 12 so transportation usually isn't an issue.

My suggestion would be to make friends with a custodian and get him/her to let you in to get your parts and work at home. Better yet, see if you can find a local business to loan you some workspace.

There is of course the other option.... Find someone willing to let you into the school despite beurocratic policies and power through the storm! Sometimes you just have to look the other way or find a creative way around little roadblocks like this. There are things that I have done in the past in highschool on my own team that had I not, we would not have been able to do the things we did.
