We only meet three days each week. Can I pretend that all the rest are snow days?

Re: Another build day lost

Well we didn't have any snow days in the middle of build this year, although it was close(knock on wood). However we did have finals in the middle of build which lost us a week.

Re: Another build day lost

our team is allowed to meet on snow days(thank god), the only issue is that were we meet is a machine shop, out in country, 5 miles from town, in the snow, up hill both ways (really, it's hilly on that road). So if school is canceled we will meet there, the only issue that comes to light then is, "i thought school is canceled so robotics is to right?", "No, i told you the last 3 days, if a snow day happened, we will meet all day instead of 2 hours that night, bring a lunch" Or the ever classic block, "the roads looked to bad," "well some of our mentors are here, some who had to drive 2 hours in that crap, to get here to mentor our sorry butts."

And they still don't show up...
