Midwest Weather?

[65_Xero_Huskie]

Pontiac Northern Has a 50% chance of no school tomorrow. And its a Count Day, so its gonna be a pain. WOOHOO Michigan weather..and were supposed to have an early spring? We had a late winter, how does that happen.

[RoboDriver1718]

Yeah, we will be getting about 5-8 inches here in Armada, MI so we might not have school, but we will still have a build day because we don't meet at school we meet at a Ford Plant so its all good!

Hope everyone still gets their bots done. Good Luck

Erie, PA... Right off the beautiful coast of lake Erie (that has yet to freeze and is still giving snow). High Temp: 15 degrees F (Feels like -2 F with windchill)

To put it in perspective, they canceled school today and the Erie School District has only canceled twice now three times my whole life... thats how bad it is here now.

Lets hope it clears up for our meeting tonight

we just had 14 inches of snow and sleet mixed + 6 inches of powder which we already had, and its blowing like crazy. Cant wait to get to Scottsdale over spring break!

[Ryan Dognaux]

Oh it was a joy walking to class today at Purdue...

Not a whole lot of snow yet, just a lot of it blowing in your face.

This might be a good time to put in a pitch for the Arizona Regional. Great Competition and GREAT Weather in the same place at the same time. Start your fund raising for next year right after you ship your robot.

That's good because we can come to your place for testing!

in independence, mo, we've got about 6 inches of snow on top of about 1/2 inch of ice on top of 3 feet of mud. yea, not fun for cars. but hey, this means team 1996 can meet from 8 am till 4 pm!

umm, maybe it's because we're a rookie team, but even before the kickoff we pretty much knew we'd be spending the night working on the bot over prez day...

[Andrew Blair]

Well, in Corry we have an interesting situation. If the school cancels all afterschool activities (like they did today), then we are not allowed to stay and work. However, if school is delayed or cancelled, we can work. Go figure. So, since we missed tonight, I'm hoping for a cancellation tomorrow. Better be, 'cause it needs to be ready for powder coat tomorrow afternoon! (And snow does not count as powder-coat...)

[redbarron]

Yeah here in good ole Cleveland,Ohio we have about 15 inches where I live (about as close to lake erie as you can get) . The school cancelled all after school activities and they are closed tomorrow which makes it the fourth or fifth day we have lost plus today. So we pretty much had five weeks to build a robot and we are pretty behind.

[Kevin Kolodziej]

Schools were closed here in Milwaukee for two days last week due to cold (no work done though, since students aren't allowed in our building if school is closed...something about if its not safe enough to come to school, its not safe enough to build a robot.... ), but so far, the snow, while coming down all day, hasn't piled up much. Its rather fluffy actually. Very windy though. I don't believe we'll be seeing any canceled classes this week, but to all those who will, may you make the best of them!

Since the county sheriff would have arrested me if I drove home after 1pm today, we decided to stop working on the robot at 12:30. If school is closed tomorrow, but the roads are drivable, then we should get alot of work done.

Right now in Richmond we are at 34F and raining, but the temperature is falling. If it gets low enough tonight, things are going to get real nasty by morning.

The schools here will be closed tommorrow too. Some people are working at the shop tonight though.

Woohooo!

Purdue is closed again on Wednesday! We're making history because I doubt this will ever happen again!
