So far, our arm design team is still in the process of designing because everyone keeps on arguing. More time would be better.
Not being able to find a good time to meet, and trouble making decisions for designs sound like problems within your team, not weather related issues. It isn't FIRST's responsibility to extend the build season because your team has had trouble coming up with a design. You could have used the snow days more effectively, by designing and sharing online, like stated above. Weather is a foreseen part of the challenge, adding to the complexity and fun of the build season!
