Cold revisited

Today was a lovely sunny and relaxing Sunday so we thought of spending time in the great outdoors.  It was a bit cold, however, -27 degrees Celsius.  Then the wind picked up to roughly 15-20 knots which made the perceived temperature drop to about -40.  Then DVD's inside the base started sounding so much better...after picking out the ice blocks from your beard and after raiding the kitchen of course.  (The cold really makes you hungry.) I hope there is a few nice days left before winter and we do get them but I guess an "almost-nice-day" in Antarctica is still pretty nasty.
