I think it was just 2003 that had the ship date postponed 2 days. I remember getting that e-mail early in the day (Sunday?) and then putting off telling the students until later in the day, simply because they were working so deligently and I didn't want them to slow down. I felt really guilty about it.

The weather issues as well as numerous other situations and such are always affecting some teams more than others. It is not fair but nonetheless, I feel it provides students with more real world experience at problem solving. Companies too deal with many issues outside of their control (even weather), but still have to stay on a timeline. Students that must go through these problems will have gained valuable lessons in project and time management.
