Tomorrow is Lincoln's birthday and only 4 of us are in a school district that has it off. We're planning to be in the shop most of tomorrow.

Know what you mean, cept davenport hardly ever closes. We work in a machine shop, and quite a few people on the team have a key, so snow day's are generally a time to get a lot of work done (if the parents let me drive). We have a simple policy when it comes to snow days. On our team, you are only allowed a certain number of absences, so we take roll every night. On a snow day, we still have the meeting (often meeting earlier) and just don't take roll. If you're there, thats great, but if you can't make it, oh well. I remember right before Christmas, we were busy modifying the drive system on last year's robot for Bald Eagle Days, and a handful of us were in that shop darn near every day trying to get the robot ready when it started snowing. That was just an excuse of we didn't want to drive in the weather, and worked till it quit snowing.
