Yep. It's all about what your communities are prepared for. Up here (generally) schools will start cancelling if the temp with wind chill is a combined -25. It's connected with how long kids have to stand outside waiting for the bus. Snow cancellations used to be few and far between, but fear of liability has changed that over the last several years.

Perhaps this NC publicity stunt was a foreshadow?

I now blame you guys for this.

Seriously though, that is amazing. If this is how you guys train your drive team, we need to step up our game.

Our school's required that extracurriculars not meet during the snow weekend, so we're looking at video conferencing as a full team for the first time. Our goal is to have one person screen share, while everyone else can instant message (or voice chat if possible). Do you know if the free version of WebEx handle that? Thanks for your help, and good luck with the weather!

From what I read, you can only have two other people with the WebEx free version.

I would advise Google Hangouts.

1648's Snow Plan right now is to use a series of GoToMeeting free trials (which last 30 days). Their calls can hold 50 people (at least that's what it says, we've only tested with about a dozen) and the trial lasts for 30 days. It also doesn't require anyone (except the person downloading the trial) to make an account.

For reference, Skype can do 25 person calls with voice only, and Google hangouts can do 10 people.

In case you're looking at a similar probem, this might be useful.

Sorry, no can do. Monday is the earliest it'll go, and good luck getting your teachers to put it on in class!

Asking the important questions as I look out my window to 5 inches of snow and roads that have not been plowed:

Do you wanna build a robot?

Same here. And it's still snowing
