Snow Storm

[KTorak]

I hope the snow stops (It's ironic for a HS student to wish for that). If this keeps out, we won't finish our robot on time. We've already lost a few days due to snow. But we have a few days off (5) before ship date which is good and bad. Good: We get longer time to work. Bad: Younger members who can't drive may have difficulty getting to meetings since they aren't already at the school building for school.

yep lots of the snow

We had to cancel the meting today around 1:00 and tommorrrow is canceled too!!?

It's gonna be had for us because we're a rookie team.

Anyway GO Blue Falcons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TEAM 1597 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i left this morning we had about a foot of old snow and since our shop has no windows we had no idea we had another foot on the gound by the time we left...good thing about living in the North east is they have plenty of snow removal equipment and once it stops it will only be a matter of time before the streets are cleared....the 1 good thing about the snow...fresh powder on the slopes and i am gonna hit them hard come tomorrow morning

We worked.
We finished out Tic Tac Tetra Tournament, intergrated the robot, named the robot painted the crate, took lots of pictures and video and did alot of work on the animation and the website.
People who needed to leave early left but we got things done.

We cancelled our meeting today, but met Friday and plan to meet Monday.

What's Snow?

[Mike33]

We had our meeting as usual. Not much happened. Although it was hard for some of us to get to our shop because no salt trucks were out yet. So on that note, I pulled out of my sub and almost slid into the corner gas station....pump(Gulp!). Other than that people just went out for a spin(Literally).

[Kyle Love]

We didn't really get much "new" snow today. We just had to get through the snow that fell last night. (Which was around 3-5 inches.) Good thing we didn't have to cancel because I would consider today a huge day of accomplishment. Hope all you guys getting more snow will make it out ok.

Are you doing anything special?

Yeah Shoveling it all around =) The teams that I work with are taking it easy this weekend but god willing next weekend will be very busy


NYC has close to about 6" - 12" down so far

Well good things can come out of this. Our team members have been shoveling drive ways for found-raising. I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.

The snowstorm reminds me that Rochester has had some of it's worst snowstorms in the first week of March which is the week that we have the FInger Lakes regional.
I certainly hope it doesn't happen this year.

Our team isn't meeting this weekend so it's not affecting us. If they close school on Monday then we'll lose a day since our stuff will be locked up until Tuesday.

I don't have an exact amount of snowfall where I am right now. My house is on top of a mountain and it's very windy right now so the snow is blowing around and drifting. One area of my driveway is still bare pavement while the area behind the house is covered with a big drift. Kinda funny to see, my Toyota is clean while my Chevy, which is nosed in behind the house, is buried.

Not really.....but maybe we should go to the beach in celebration?

We got a few inches of snow here in Montreal today, I suppose it's from the same storm you're going through down there. The drive home was a bit slippery, since they haven't gotten around to dumping some of the hundred-thousand or so metric tonnes of salt they spread in this city every year. It's been a bit too chilly here to snow the past few days, with temperatures somewhere in the minus 30s. However, us being Canadian, it doesn't affect our team at all. In fact, in my five years of high school, and despite feet of snow and lots of freezing rain, I've never had a single snow day... except for that time when that toilet blew up... but that's another story.

Still snowing in good ole Southern New Hampshire.

Drifts, too. Out the window to my left the snow is 3 feet deep. Out the window to my right I can see grass.

Predicted total snowfall is 20-30 inches.
