How many days have your team been effected by snow storms.

[klmx30302]

Let me count... 3 days so far for us, one tomorrow for sure plus possibly one Thursday so that's 4-5 days missed for a total of about 18 hours of build time (we've made up 3 hours so far). It also does not help that Wednesday/Thursday are the days our transmissions and new CIMs are showing up. In addition to some more 8020 stuff probably showing up then as well.

I can now add today to the list of snow casualties... school canceled ALL after school activites so no robotics tonight, so the figure for us is now 5-6 days lost and 18-21 build hours.

Looks like AndyMark is being affected which will in return affect everyone, including us on the west coast..

We have just been notified that our shipping providers have suspended all shipping (both Ground and Express services) from Kokomo, Indiana due to extreme weather conditions. While we understand your time constraints within FIRST Robotics and have been working diligently to get your orders out, we will not be able to issue discounts or refunds due to these weather conditions beyond our control.

Our local weather forecast is calling for up to 12" of blowing and drifting snow in the next 24 hours. We will update the home page of our website to let you know when our shipping operations resume.

We appreciate your business and patience in this matter.

We have only lost three or four days, including today. Not too bad for Connecticut, which has been just totally hammered by snow lately.

[Wildcat]

2 as of today, maybe 3 after tomorrow

[Katie_UPS]

Milwaukee is getting hammered. The public schools (which UPS runs through) have no school tomorrow and no activities today or tomorrow. That puts us back two days...



... which I found out I REALLY needed ten minutes before the end of the meeting yesterday.

[Cyberphil]

I believe 5 work days for us due to cancellations of after school activities, and we might have another one tomorrow.

[Tommithy]

2 to 3 so far, hope we have a meeting tmmrw,,


ah great we have one tmmrw

[AcesJames]

Factoring in today and tomorrow, 10 days lost. 8 From snow, 2 from maintenance on the school needing to be done due to the snow.

[toddlb]

5-6 days

[Henry Williams]

So far we have had 2 days off of school, which has not stopped us from meeting but this is a sign of the apocalypse, they never cancel school for our district. We may have more though...

[Zholl]

Today makes two. We're getting the very edge of that storm that's supposed to be causing havoc to the east. No snow though, just really cold. Cancelled after school activities yesterday in anticipation of bad weather, and cancelled school altogether today because of "dangerously cold temperatures," which in this case means been below zero all day

[kgzak]

0. Officially today was cancelled but we had a few students who still worked on the robot today. We will be working on the robot tomorrow as well.

[Trent B]

Today you could consider us "effected" in that an Andymark order for our drivetrain got held up in chicago delaying our robot progress.

[treffk]

This year we decided to only work 4 days a week on the robot. Today was the first day we canceled due to weather. Every other snow day the students had we told them to be at the shop at 10am so we could work, given they could get there safely of course.
