With a major snow storm hitting the Midwest, and the Northeast, how is your team coping with the weather?
Are you doing anything special?
I don’t think we had much of a choice because our school cancelled all after school activities on friday. They also cancelled all extracurriculurs at our school during the weekend.
GO 1403!!!
We had a meeting today that ended early due to the snow coming down way too fast. They are saying up 10-18 inches of snow here in the suburbs of philly.
The snow will take care of the rest of today, tomorrow, and maybe monday. The city is never prepared to plow the snow away. Plus, the EAGLES game is tomorrow, so all the snow plow drivers will be watching the game instead of plowing the roads.
So to answer your question, it will slow us down a bit, but we’ll just have to make up the time later - unfortunetly there is nothing we can do about it.
Jason, currently snowed in
Is considering canceling our meeting anything special?
It’s not hit 10 degrees yet today. We’re looking at 10-20 inches of snow, and wind chill of -13 tomorrow.
And we’re in southern NH.
I may need to go skiing.

We got 12 inches or so in the past 12 hours so we cancled todays meeting and moved it to tomorrow. YAY living in southeast michigan 
We ended our meeting early today (5 hours early) and it still has not begun to snow. That and we have no meeting tomorrow.
Can you say snowshoing? We’re snowed in here at the shop in Southeastern Mighigan. We’ll find a way out sooner or later.
northeast indiana never gets mass amounts of snow. For instance, the December snow storm that hit Inianapolis and Chicago but not in between (which is where we are). Even though we got maybe a few inches (2 or 3) our rookie team from across town did cancel their meeting. We, on the other hand, are working.
Yea, we could have done so much more work if we didn’t get all this crazy snow. And we don’t even get to miss any school because it will all be plowed by Monday! Is there no justice?!
Up here in North Central PA, we have gotten 6+" of snow already and it is still falling pretty hard. No team meeting for me to go to, but there is enough snow to keep me from going snowboarding :ahh: (my car can’t make it to the mountain).
Over here in Ann Arbor, he have gotten too much snow too quickly. So, we postponed our 7 hour meeting from today and moved it to tomorrow.
My team is doing nothing special…
We live on long island, so the snow storm hit us but its not enough to stop us. Robotics must go on.
The school system canceled all extra curricular activities for this weekend. That includes the robotics team. 
If I remember correctly in 2003 the ship date was extended because of a large snow storm, but I am not completely sure about this so some one please correct me if I am wrong.
we sent the practice bot and sensor stuff home with Bharat. They have a programming party going all weekend long.

I think they added on 2 or so days to certain teams that were nailed by the snow… down in VA, we havent had school Thurs or Fri, but the ‘skeleton’ crew got together both days, but weve been forbidden to get together this weekend… but even if were out monday, robotics must go on… wether the school supports it or not!

p.s- those not fimiliar with Richmond snow- 1in of snow knock school out for 2+ days …now the more richmondish winter weather is here- freezing rain and sleet…
We had to cancel this morning because of the insane snowfall. This is not a good thing for a rookie team who’s going to be pushing it to finish a robot in time anyways… Ahhh!!! Snow, snow go away, come back after build season, ea?
We have like a foot and a half in some places and we are still meeting lol
go michigan
nya… we’re so behind right now, we don’t even have our ideas on paper… we needed today, but West Ottawa cancelled everything, I mean we are practically snowed in. cries We’ll never get our robot done if this snow keeps bombarding us like it is…
We had our meeting today but around 9 o’clock or so they told us to start calling home for a ride but we could leave when we wanted too. But by the time I left the roads where really bad. I hope that the weather gets better so that everyone can have the robot built completely in time to ship.
