We too have been attending build sessions and there have been a forecasted snow storms (not something we can avoid living in Canada) however our sessions were minimal with students and mentors not being able to make it in.

After surviving just before Christmas with no power for 46 hours, I would strongly recommend bottled water, canned food and blankets. Emergency candles wouldn't be a bad idea either just in case the power went out although I really hope if at that point you just locked up and tried to brave the weather to get home.

As others have said before the robot can wait.... use your best judgement on the morning of the build session and drive with caution!

Our team has been lucky to not miss any time in between our snow storms! Good luck and we hope everything works out for your team!
