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 ! Apr 3, 1999 - May 3, 2020 |

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. http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/as-temperatures-sink-to-60c-in-yakutia-heroic-chinese-tourists-take-a-swim/ Horror! Us locals, are afraid to go out in such a cold. And here ... the tourists are swimming …! Lumevärv, The Colour of Snow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJlXDGnipOI |

yesterday at this time the national weather service said we might get a dusting of snow... 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. |
