I have no problem driving in this weather
Forecast: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Kansas+City&state=MO&site=EAX&textField1=39.1223&textField2=-94.552&e=0
Tonight:
Periods of freezing rain before midnight. Low around
20. North wind between 11 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.
Chance of precipitation is 80%. New ice accumulation of around a 0.1 of
an inch possible.
I am really concerned about trying to have this meeting tonight here at our office. I don't think it is worth everyone risking themselves to try and come to a meeting that is not a regularly scheduled meeting. Since we cannot tell what will happen this afternoon I think it is just better all around to postpone the trial run meeting at Vital Support Systems to another day. Let me know what everyone thinks.

Subject: RE: Setting common rules about weather cancels of KCLUG events.I think the prudent thing to do is see what happens tonight and whether our office will even be open tomorrow. If it is and I am able to get to work then I see no reason why we cannot have our meeting in the evening. However, if the office is closed or I am not able to get to work then I think since it is a trial run meeting we should call it off. I will send an email out as soon as I know something tomorrow and let people know. I will send it to the email list and post it on the Forum. That should cover everyone.On Dec 9, 2007 3:34 PM, Jonathan Hutchins <hutchins@tarcanfel.org> wrote:

Exactly. The only time we've ever cancelled a meeting was because the Library was closed.
This does raise an issue for impending test meeting. If our hosts be of the mind that the weather doth well and truly suck, how do we find out? The Library is the sort of institution that notifies the TV/radio stations, so they appear on lists of closings. Rather than fielding calls from a dozen or three geeks, I'd expect them to want to do something similar.
And given our proclivities, I'd expect we'd give Vital Systems' management a special login for kclug.org that allows them to flag that night's meeting as cancelled due to weather, terrorist threat, etc. without having to locate whoever has the keys to the Executive Washroom.
Definitely something to think about.
