Weather report

The weather here has been variable, to say the least!
As previously mentioned, I arrived during the first day of winter weather, with -8 degrees, wind and snow-road conditions so bad we were stuck at basecamp.
Next 2 days were pretty cold too, though the snow had stopped.
Since then things have warmed up, turning the area around the units into a cross between an ice rink and a mud pit.
It has been beautifully sunny here both on Sunday and Monday-some rather interesting effects of sublimation with the snow going stright from ice to steam.
Today it is actually +3 degrees and it is raining, which is a bit of a disaster in terms of trying to walk around-ice-lined puddles, mud, etc
Apparently, it is actually colder in Moscow at the moment...
