Yep it just keeps going around and around in one very COLD windstorm!
Its a
major contributor to what the guys here call the A-factor
(Antarctic-factor) - i.e. anything you could get done inside a month
here
could easily stretch out for a year down there. Basically Murphy's law
rules supreme.

Thanks. I've still got to work a few more nuances out before I present
