Stormy Weather


There isn't a whole lot to say about the past couple weeks.  We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner and then some really stormy weather for several days.   A storm at the South Pole means lots of clouds, high winds (we hit 26 knots), and really poor visibility.  Normally, you can see the horizon past SPT.  During the storm, there was a time when I couldn't even see SPT from the station.  At the end of it, when the wind settled, the air was full of ice crystals, and we've had some magnificent sundogs.
