The snow definately helped us as well.....we kinda were done and ready to go on Tuesday, but now the bot is actually done (minus a part that a Jr broke on it about 5 mins b4 the FedEx truck arrived) and working. And, the auto-mode code we have in now doesn't drive the bot through the walls (as an ealier version of the program did...lol). Robot 1 Drywall 0
But, the bots done and shipped, and looks good.

As for cars being stuck.....yeah that happens.....we did a little video of my car being stuck in the snow, and then us getting it unstuck (mines front-wheel drive too)....and then theres our programmer who drives a big GMC Safari van...that things a pain to push when it gets stuck (and it IS rear-wheel-drive).
