It is a little chilly here today: -22 with a wind chill of -48. Brrr! For those interested, a little weather history from Thule. The highest recorded temp (w/o wind chill) was 68. The lowest was -47. The highest recorded windspeed was 127 mph. These are from the main base where I am located although at one of the weather locations in the area the wind has registered at 207 mph. Also, all the vehicles here naturally have engine block warmers. The neat thing is at each building has several "hot" plugs so that you get out and plug in your vehicle to keep it warm. What's funny is that at some buildings the hot plugs are on what looks like a hitching post in from of the building adding a Wild North feel to the base. This is great except there is apparently something wrong with my vehicle. They are letting me us the Deputy Commander's while he is off-island and it keeps not wanting to start so they may have to take it, repair it, and give me another. Well, gotta go to the gym. I will try to stay warm.
