So we woke up this morning to blowing snow and wind...and our flight to the field is cancelled for today. A little glad, as I am extremely sore and could use some rest :). Apparently two of the helos are still stranded out in the field (including the one we will be on) and have been there for about 3 days now due to weather conditions (basically, low visibility). 2 flights from New Zealand are still backed up, as the C 17s are still unable to land at Pegasus. Apparently we were the last flight in, and we arrived last Friday! Temps are around 25 degrees F in McMurdo right now with snow, which is apparently very unusual for this time of year. McMurdo is currently coated with several inches...very pretty.
Not much else to report on at the moment. Off to take a much needed rest and spend the day wandering around the areas of McMurdo we have not seen yet. Will comment a bit later, and explain more about the workings of McMurdo and field camps.
And for those emailing about posting comments, apparently I had the wrong settings on, so anyone should be able to comment on the blog now. If not, email me at krmarra@gmail.com. Enjoy your day!
