Weekly snapshot #2

It's gotten dramatically warmer this week (yes, -14 degrees does start to feel warm!)...

...but it's been very windy with terrible visibility, which in my limited experience is unusual for South Pole. Last year I think I could easily count on one hand the number of days we had that look like this. But we've had a week of it now. This picture is taken from the same place as last week's picture, so you can really tell how terrible the visibility is in comparison. The distant buildings on the right are South Pole's traditional telescopes and the building on the left is the Ice Cube facility.

 Guess we'll have to wait and see how it looks next week!
