Another big blow coming through. Here's a picture of Donna trying to keep the sat camp weatherport shoveled out. This is the day after the first group left - the wind sicked up (25 kts or so) and it was a battle to keep things from being drifted. Steve actually got stuck inside the weatherport that night as he was doing nightshift and had to wait until the morning when Eddie and Jack dug him out! |
