It's warming up!

After being here about five weeks I am beginning to feel a hint of what they call summer here in the Antarctic. The other day at work I took off my coat and beanie for the first time fearing I would overheat and actually begin to sweat. For the first time I felt the wind on my face and didn't think, "IT'S BURNING MY SKIN OFF!" I hustled home after work to change out of my insulated coveralls and checked the weather. It warmed up to 10! With the windchill it was below 10, but it was an amazing thought...my body has begun to get used to this. I am looking forward to both the warming in the next few months and getting used to the cold even more. I continue to be amazed by this place, and the weather is a big part of that. Blue skies lead to stormy winds with no visibility. You never know what you're gonna get when you wake up here, probably another condition 1 storm tomorrow morning.
