WOW did it snow!!!

The United States Association for Young Physicists Tournaments (USAYPT) tried to hold its 4th annual US Invitational Young Physicists Tournament 5-6 February 2010 at Woodberry Forest School, Woodberry Forest, Virginia, but when the states of Virginia, Maryland, and large portions of Pennsylvania closed due to the largest snow storm since 1996, we had to cancel. This year's teams were from the Harker School, San Jose, California; Madeira School, McClean, VA; Oak Ridge High School, Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Rye Country Day School, Rye, New York; the Wildwood School, Los Angeles, California; and the Woodberry Forest School, Woodberry Forest, Virginia. This would have been the largest number of US schools attending, but a few months later...
