Our team has had 4 days lost due to that one infamous snow storm and the resulting snowjam. The Atlanta public school district has cancelled 4 full days of classes and 1 teacher work day so far this season (luckily our team was able to meet on the teacher work day still, but others weren't as lucky). You know it's bad when Georgia Tech, notorious for having class despite weather, cancels classes for 3 days due to the snowstorm that passed through the Atlanta area. Although our team wasn't able to meet for those 4 days, we pulled extra hours and an additional day on the weekend to try and make up for the lost hours, but other teams in our area can't do that, and the 45 pounds is a life saver for those teams.
