This may be because it's occurring in Southern states where people aren't used to driving in snow and ice.

Yeah, which implies that this is pretty unusual weather for all y'all. (See, I can speak Southern too! )

Good luck guys, and stay safe...

It's not all that unusual, there just isn't infrastructure to remove the snow when it piles up.

i dont know about you guys but im glad the weather decided to nerf southeastern robotics because we have been too overpowered for too long

Help your communities that aren't prepared for the snow and build some robotic snowthrowers.

Also, just because you live in an area that gets a decent amount of snowfall, it doesn't mean that everyone there knows how to drive in it. Be safe, everyone!

I was just going to make a post egging on our southern neighbors.

6-8" shuts you down? You have just as many high schoolers and shovels as we do!

Stay safe guys.

Even better help your communities that aren't prepared for the snow and build some robotic flamethrowers. You won't end up with snow banks and it looks hella cool

[OccamzRazor]

Flamethrowers and snow right?

Someone put a water game joke in here before it all turns to steam.

We'll be developing that online collaboration system we wanted but never got around to...now we have to. It's all about problem solving isn't it?

Perhaps this NC publicity stunt was a foreshadow?

School only ever gets canceled here when it gets cold enough to freeze the gas in the busses. I'm pretty sure a solid foot has come down before without cancelling school.

4534 has still managed to keep our facility open (for now) so we luckily still get to watch the kickoff broadcast together. Some of our rookie friends down here had their schools cancel though so they can't join us

I think as a substitute for watching the 2017 FRC game launch together, teams that can't meet tomorrow should simply watch the SpaceX launch together on Sunday.

Jokes aside...I think we just took credit for being the first to actually play a water game.

This is obviously intentional. Snow falls from the sky, and is made of water. Drone water game confirmed.
