Blustery


Although this photo is from a football game,
thousands of miles away, it's strangely appropriate
here as well. Strange because it's summer at 77 or
so degrees south and it's snowing. Yes, it is
Antarctica and it does snow here, but not with the
regularity we've been having. It canceled all
seven Herc flights today and the C-17 flight from
Christchurch. Forecasts call for it to be just as
bad or worse tomorrow. The only benefit is that it's
very warm. Very typical when we get snow accumulation
of any kind. If it was much warmer, it would be
raining.

It is a matter of dare and braveness to play football in such an intense snow and frost.The person have a great endurance and patience to bear such a cold and shiver.Really amazing and appreciable.
