Re: Snow days

Back in 2010, 449 had to deal with the fabled "Snowmageddon," which dropped about 50 inches of snow in ~4 days on an area that generally averages under 10 inches per year.

We correctly predicted that stuff would be closed for about a week, and hastily put together some contingency plans beforehand. Ultimately, we basically packed up all of our projects and tools, brought them to mentors' houses, and got snowed in there. It was reasonably workable. We kept in skype contact between the various locations.
