Comms going down, so...

compilerbitchThis is probably my last chance to get a message out before comms goes down. We're having pretty strong wind (not looked at the weather station, but probably 40kts at least), subzero temperatures and freezing fog. It's taken out the C-band dish, but the Ka-band is still up. As a consequence, our IP phones are now down.
Given the weather, the plan seems to be to pull people out as and when we can get planes in. Currently that's not happening. There is some possibility that the C-130 might be delayed by anything up to several days, or that we might be stuck on the island for a while (maybe several days). We have a lot of food, the infrastructure is holding up pretty well, so no one needs to panic, though be advised that you probably won't hear from me again until I manage to make it to Resolute, or possibly not even then since their comms is actually flakier than ours.
I'll post here again when I next have comms. See you all soon (I hope!).
