Look what the wind brought in



Ok, so today was a little more challenging. Luckily most of my work is indoors, but as part of Airline Operations people are in and out all day so the cold air is always lurking in the halls. You can feel it pass you with your eyes closed as if it were the grim reaper himself strolling through.

When I say challenging I mean the weather. -11F/-24C and with the wind chill is was -58F/-50C. YES IT FELT LIKE IT TOO! We are on watch for Condition 2 right now, which warranted an early out from work, well 30 minutes early. The runways and all surrounding areas from town are currently at Condition 1 but we are nestled in a little valley surrounded by hills and an active volcano, Mt. Erebus.

Walking down the "Main Drag" from work to dinner, never a dull moment.
Trust me, it is beautiful here. However, this is the windiest, coldest, and driest continent so not always ideal conditions for sightseeing and leisure photos. God, life is good!
