Ice in North Texas

[Bryan Herbst]

Well most of the teams that constantly get snow (ie Midwestern states such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.) typically don't need to worry much. Our states are prepared for most anything in winter. Over my 14 years in a suburban school district, I had one snow day.

Obviously, the rest of the US isn't quite so equipped to deal with this weird white fluffy substance.

For teams in those states, I would recommend two things:
First, exercise good judgement. If the roads are dangerous, don't meet. If possible, send some parts home with students to work on. Give the programmers a laptop so they can continue.

Second, if the roads aren't too dangerous but your school is closed, try meeting at a mentor's house. If you anticipate the need to do this, you should remove your robot from the school before the school closes.
