Digging out of the drifts

Our shipping containers stood up well to the storm and only let a little spindrift into the crack in the door frame. The temperature has risen to -4C so it's quite warm inside. Some drifting outside, but luckily the door opens inwards so we can always get out.
The Weather Haven also stood up well and was not too full of spindrift, although the doorway needs some attention to stop it getting blocked.




We spent most of the day after the storm digging our equipment out. The airport diggers soon got into action and started clearing the runway. The huge drift blocking the front of the Hilton was dug away, so we didn't have to climb over it to get in.




 On the next Twin Otter flight, the mechanic came over from Iceland, so today we have been servicing skidoos – I now know how to remove and clean a 'rave valve' whatever one of those is?
