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

So what. There is practically no way you guys can ever get a day off from school. It's an interesting concept when you live in an area to get large enough storms to close entire cities. Of course there goes another day of robotics.

Can it possibly snow anymore! LOL

..... no, really.... it stopped snowing here, yesterday afternoon. I walked out of class around 2..... Guess What! It's snowing again! Gotta Love NEPA!

Does anyone know if FIRST is considering a small time extension? I know many teams here who have missed up to a week (us included, even though we're not in public school) of meeting and build. Its setting us behind a bit.
So far, I haven't heard any mention of an extension. What do you think?

We have not had meetings so far this week. We are supposed to have one tomorrow...but there's supposed to be another 4 to 8 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow all day

As what nkauj_ntxoo16 has said, yes few had showed up and most of us stayed to get the job done in a way. I left my house half an hour before the usual and just barely got there through the unplowed roads from the great evil beneth. Yes though many of our team members did show it was all out of determination for the game and FIRST all in all. So for those who went through this dreaded time thank you for your detemination on meeting the deadline(3 weeks away!!!!) on time. Cya later guys and gals!!!!

Yep, and as I thought...we have no school today, so that means no robotics That makes it four days since our last meeting

All of the regional venues are already booked. I seriously doubt that there will be an extension.

Not true. Hurricane Days! You'd be surprised how much school we got off this year due to hurricanes...in some areas, school was cancelled for 2 or so weeks!!
But i guess that, outside of Hurricane Season, we just have to wait for the weekends!

We would have gone back to school on friday but "the pipes were frozen"... I bet they just didn't want to open school for one day... haha...

Well, here in Boston, school is cancled for *another* day. I'm not complaining or anything, but I got up at 4 this morning to finish my english paper... not to mention that I havn't been to Robotics in a week!

Maybe we'll have robotics regardless...

our mentors won't let us have meetings because of the snow... I believe we have 28-30 inches of snow and now it is snowing again and i guess we are getting 6 to 9 inches... jeeeeeez... I haven't been to school since last thursday!!! almost a full week off... hehehe...

we are gonna have to like kill ourselves trying to make up time...

Woke up this morning to very heavy snow... we probably have 4-5" already, and it's only supposed to get worse as the day goes on.

Actually, in the past FIRST has extended the shipping deadline by a few days (usually 2-3 days) due to teams being unable to meet because of the weather. They do not change the dates of the regionals. I think many teams missing up to a week of build could be ground for an extension. I'm just wondering if FIRST is considering one. My team, personally, is meeting for the First time in a week tonight.

I wouldn't be surprised if First extended the deadline like the other time it did. This time we have had such heavy snow snowers so close to each other. Boston is getting another 10 inches today.
