What? We can't fly in this?

Here's footage from the storm that is currently busting through the McMurdo area. I'm sitting at a desk in the Crary Science and Engineering Center library which looks out over McMurdo Sound. The weather appears to be clearing slightly, though today has been characterized by moderate temps with strong winds gusting to over 50 knots in town. This kind of wind is somewhat unusual here. We've been cancelled for our put in flight the last two mornings, though no one is flying anywhere; helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.

Tomorrow should be better and we'll be on our way.

Well, at least no one else is flying either...
