Re: How many days have you lost to snow or other inclement weather?
Our shop is not on school property. Until last year, the team made good use of snow days, with some dedicated students spending the extra time working on the robot. Our facilities sponsor now considers that to be inappropriate -- if the weather is bad enough to close the school, they don't want anyone showing up at the shop either.
We do finesse the issue on occasion, keeping a scheduled afternoon or evening work session if the weather has improved since the morning decision to close the school. We also try not to cancel weekend sessions, though we won't count it against the students' attendance if they don't show up due to weather.
So far, we haven't lost any time to snow this year, but we're closely watching the situation for tomorrow.
