Not much time to write - I'm on my way out the door to deliver another presentation. I thought I was never coming back to the Slope...WRONG. Here I am for 7 days. Today the wind is blowing 28 mph and it feels like -19. My LLBean boots are still doing the trick.
It has gotten a lot darker since I was here before. Today, the sun will not rise until 10:22am and it sets at 2:35pm. When the sun is visible, we have the pinks and purples of dawn all day...or rather the entire 4 hours we have sun. Today though, it's snowing AGAIN...so no sunlight today.
Back again - we are experiencing "A Blow." The wind and snow are blowing so badly that sometimes it is hard to see the road....hence the reason we got stuck in a snowdrift at the Seawater Injection Plant (SIP). Oh my. We had to call security to come pull us out. I now understand the reason for the ACRTIC GEAR, cause if this had happened in the middle of no where, we'd have been pretty cold, pretty fast.
