bag and tag / weather rules

We generally don't have to worry about this in Alabama, but we're expecting 2-4 inches of snow and sleet on Sunday night and more possibly on Tuesday with temperatures staying below freezing. The way things are down here in the south, that could shutdown the roads through town for a week because we just don't have the equipment for it. Our build facility is off campus so we don't have to worry if the schools close, but I'm concerned that we won't be able to get to the robot to bag and tag it, or to get the last minute spare parts from the machine shop across town and get them into the bag. I seem to recall some procedure in emergency weather conditions and schools are closed where a mentor and a principal swear on their firstborn that nobody touched the robot after stop build date except to put it in the bag, but I don't see anything in the Admin manual for exceptions - maybe it was in a blog. We have an open house on Sunday so we could go ahead and bag the robot just in case, but I'd hate to have the parts at the machine shop count toward our withholding allowance. I guess I could leave them a bag as well. We've got plenty of tags so that shouldn't be a problem.
Can someone point me toward how this was handled in the past?

Thanks.
