Staff members Patrick & Ernest from Mac Station (not too far from Ice Station Zebra), wondering if the
last working computer has frozen or if there is yet again a glitch with one of Berkeley's download servers.


Isn't that Patrick McGoohan in Ice Station Zebra?
*That* would explain very well why he's so riled up whenever we call him Number Six !

North East Siberia. Brrrr.
This week's temperature in Oymyakon reportedly beat the record of February 6, 1933, when a temperature of —67.7 °C (-89.9 °F) was registered at the town's weather station.

Horror! Us locals, are afraid to go out in such a cold. And here ... the tourists are swimming …!

We were promised the opposite,
30 hours of snow with about half heavy and windy.
What did we get, a sprinkling by about 5 am, that had gone, because it rained instead, by 7 am.

this is a very dry powdery snow...
so the wind blows and you're in
a snow cloud all of a sudden.
18 mph winds and the low will
be around 10F.
our dog is so happy.
