Bryan,

Try this....turn on your oven and put your head inside. That is how my wife describes 110 degrees. Yes, the summers are hot. In the past ten years none of my neighbors have had a heart attack from shoveling sun. I clearly remember many snowy days growing up in Ohio. I'll take Arizona! Besides, ever since Woody, Dave, and Dean invented the air conditioner, summers here are not all that bad.

I'm flying out of Logan Wednesday night to head home for Sacramento. I'm hoping the snow doesn't have an effect either. It seems like everytime I leave Boston I just beat out a big storm.

Looking at the 10 day forecast I get to come home to at least two days of rain. With a high of 68* I'll be burning up

It's snowing in Richmond! We have about an inch right now and it's still coming down. It is supposed to turn to rain soon.

Snow? .....hmmmmmmmmmmm...... can't find anything in the manual about it, and noone around here knows anything about it. Was it in the kit of parts? Anyone have the specs on it? From your descriptions, it's an unlimited quantity material but we can't seem to find any available locally.

Baltimore to Boston, roundtrip about $125
Baltimore to Phoenix, roundtrip about $285

The price of sunshine: about $35 per day.

Oh yeah, it's in section 3.8.4 it states:

All weather phanomenons much accour right before a kick-off event or regional that is highly anticipated. Snow must be under 60" tall and must weigh 120 lbs without the battery. If you buy snow from outside source, make sure to follow the additional parts flow chart.

So there you go....

Michigan got pounded. We had a recruitment event today at the school but our school cancelled. This is bad for all teams in the area because the teams can't meet and programmers are going to run out of time.

Snow day! Sleading!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

For my area of Connecticut...

... A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON...

SNOW WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE LAKE GEORGE NORTHERN SARATOGA REGION... THE MOHAWK VALLEY... THE CATSKILLS... AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND FROM SOUTHERN VERMONT SOUTH INTO THE LITCHFIELD HILLS OF CONNECTICUT. PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. SNOWFALL SO FAR HAS RANGED FROM 6 TO 12 INCHES. AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL FALL. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE FROM 8 TO 16 INCHES....

So far I think we have around 8 inches of snow or so... and it seems like it isn't going to stop any time soon. Oh well, I am glad because it was enough to get me a snow day!
Now I can relax and be on Chief Delphi without worrying that I should be doing something else right now...
(That is, if I don't get drafted into shoveling the driveway and our sidewalk...)

Glad to hear you are coming, 617! We will save some sunshine for you.

Everyone else, plan early, fund raise like crazy, get all your tetras in a row. The Arizona Regional is a great FIRST event!

I'm from just north of Manchester and usually we get alot of snow around this time, the airports in the area are always really good about keeping the runways clean. Chances are you'll get in. See you guys on Thursday morning.
