Snow Storm

[KORN_lover_2007]

Here in eastern Kansas we don't have as much problems with snow as we do with ice. Usually we'll be at a meeting in the evening and everyone will start looking up the weather on the internet. If it says it is getting icy, we will be allowed to leave early if we want. Otherwise we just drive slow.

that weather channel report was the real deal...

RI earlier today was put into a "State of Emergency" as all of the state is covered in at least 20" of snow... we got about 2ft here in Newport, and thankfully its just high winds at the moment... the thing with the winds is some spots have 3in of snow... and in drifts its upwards of 4 feet!!! well the main good thing about this is no school tommorow has already been declared...

Yeah. It's the same here in Massachuessetss. Of course they call it a state of snow emergency.

Only thing we have to worry about is hurricanes and that is during the off season. We all were saying how we were hating Florida during the hurricanes, well now this is when we are rejoicing becasue we are in Florida

Yeah but I would take a snowstorm over a hurricane anyday just because I know everything is still going to be intact.

I wouldn't when it snows it stays for day's, maybe weeks. When a Hurricane roles through its only here for a couple of hours. The building codes of Florida after hurricane Andrew are ridiculous anyway that most newer houses and remodels and so forth stay intact. Our biggest thing is power, like you guys are dealing with power outages.

And plus look how long Florida went without getting a direct hit from a hurricane
Andrew 1992
4 hurricanes 2004
12 years

You guys deal with snow every year

What power outages????? The only power outages I can think of are the people close to the shore in Massachusetts which ironically had hurricane force winds.

The snow storm is gone the roads are clear , and there is no school on Monday?I hope they have a good reason or at least a reason at all. No school means no meeting and time just keeps ticking away as that deadline gets closer and closer

Opps I read your location and it said you are in California. I didn't realize it was California Maryland. Personally I think it's a smart thing to do. Here in Boston the roads have only now become clean enough where you are not risking life and limb driving.

I was soo mad today, all the other schools and school distrects in the upper to mid part of Delaware and parts of MD, PA and NJ were all closed expect for mine. I dont think that was fair to the kids who had to stand outside in the -3 degree weather. I am happy I didnt go today

Last week, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan got *tons* (read: 3-4 feet) of snow and the windchill was in the -40s ... Michigan Tech was the only school in the UP that was open, one of the days!

Snowing? well..over here in Hawaii, its kind of more "humid" then snowy..

[Charley]

Well, as was said, our Rhode Island state of emergency is putting a damper on things.

No one has school tomorrow apparently, and I cancelled our meeting because people drive up to an hour to get to Brown where we work... we come from all over.

On Saturday we started a meeting, and then left early... my mom continued to yell at me about what takes precidence: safe driving or robotics, needless to say I couldn't quite answer....

I've never seen his much snow ever!!!! I miss summer.

During our breakfast club on the 22nd of January, we had a major snow storm that day.. Few of the team members did not show up to the meeting, but some team members, coaches and engineers have managed to show up. I guess sometimes we just work through even some of the harsh weathers.

Well its cold here brrrr
but we still are working hard.
Rain, wind, sleet, or snow.

[tkwetzel]

The snow came back today. In under an hour we have already accumulated about 2". That is on top of the 12" we got on Saturday!

In San Diego, it was 78 deg at the beach, but I watched the snow on TV!

Sorry all! I couldn't resist rubbing it in!
