Northeast rocked by storm

[Uberbots]

[Brandon Holley]

Thankfully we haven't had too much bad weather, although today we had to cancel our meeting due to weather.

Up here in Maine, we've had 5 weather related cancellations this build season.

Luckily, this storm is tracking just to the west of us, and even though school was canceled today, it's warming up enough that it's rain instead of ice (or so we hope)
With the storm this weekend, it looks like it'll fall just as we're finishing up and shipping...I don't think I'd mind being snowed into the shop that night though...we'll need the extra time.

This has certainly been the worst weather for a build season I've experienced so far...although, it's nice being a senior this year, so I won't have to make up any of these days of school!

Can't get to the school???? wow, you musta got hit hard.....We got power lines laying in the road, trees on top of the lines, snow up to the bumpers on the trucks, and more ice/water than the storm drains can handle, with rolling brown outs.....

Just click it into 4 wheel and go..... Our entire build team is here right now, almost like the storm never happened.... Not even the janitors showed up, just the DAWGS.....

the thing is we can't get in the building

Yeah same here. They canceled all after school activities yesterday and today school was canceled. This afternoon we called the school to see if we could somehow get in but they said since school was canceled for the day all school actives were also canceled. With our scrimmage only a few days away, this is going to greatly impact our schedule.

I lost power for about 4 hours this morning and there a few students who are still without power.

We're in the same boat. No school = no afterschool activities. This is our third lost day this season.

central western VT is bad but not terrible. we still have power but no meeting (our like 5th cancellation but we should be able to make up for it if we dont have any more.

blaxbb i know how you feel. this is the second time our school aka only workplace has been canceled. we arent allowed in the school. though our teacher/mentor has some persuasion, and a construction entrance, so tonight may be anotehr story school is closed friday and monday too, but we managed to get the entire day opened for us, hopefully this will help make up the lost time along with long hours saturday and sunday.
but man was that ice bad. drove home last night around 10, very thankful for all wheel drive and blizzak tires haha

You guys should come finish your bots up on the west coast--it's been 70-75* here since last week.

That was just downright MEAN!

[Ericgehrken]

Being on the west coast is huge advantage.

[KathieK]

Not only is ship date looming, but so is the Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage scheduled for this weekend - the first place we get to see the official FIRST field in action. The flooding is causing a lot of cancellations for this evening and the temps are dropping making icing a concern again tonight.

4X4 doesn't help on ice, I learned that the hard way last winter. Snow it can help, but not ice.
