Snow Storm

With a major snow storm hitting the Midwest, and the Northeast, how is your team coping with the weather?

Are you doing anything special?

I don't think we had much of a choice because our school cancelled all after school activities on friday. They also cancelled all extracurriculurs at our school during the weekend.

GO 1403!!!

We had a meeting today that ended early due to the snow coming down way too fast. They are saying up 10-18 inches of snow here in the suburbs of philly.

The snow will take care of the rest of today, tomorrow, and maybe monday. The city is never prepared to plow the snow away. Plus, the EAGLES game is tomorrow, so all the snow plow drivers will be watching the game instead of plowing the roads.

So to answer your question, it will slow us down a bit, but we'll just have to make up the time later - unfortunetly there is nothing we can do about it.

Jason, currently snowed in

Is considering canceling our meeting anything special?

It's not hit 10 degrees yet today. We're looking at 10-20 inches of snow, and wind chill of -13 tomorrow.

And we're in southern NH.

I may need to go skiing.

Re: Snow Storm

Re: Snow Storm

northeast indiana never gets mass amounts of snow. For instance, the December snow storm that hit Inianapolis and Chicago but not in between (which is where we are). Even though we got maybe a few inches (2 or 3) our rookie team from across town did cancel their meeting. We, on the other hand, are working.

Yea, we could have done so much more work if we didn't get all this crazy snow. And we don't even get to miss any school because it will all be plowed by Monday! Is there no justice?!

Re: Snow Storm

Up here in North Central PA, we have gotten 6+" of snow already and it is still falling pretty hard. No team meeting for me to go to, but there is enough snow to keep me from going snowboarding (my car can't make it to the mountain).

Re: Snow Storm

If I remember correctly in 2003 the ship date was extended because of a large snow storm, but I am not completely sure about this so some one please correct me if I am wrong.
