September is officially the lousiest month, weather-wise, so far. it has only been 7 days yet we've had 3 blizz days so far. everyday has been the same mix of dull lighting, overcast skies, grey clouds, semi-strong winds and snow (the only good part). i think all of us on station feel like we've been lied to. all us newbies (i.e., the first-time winterers) were told by the more 'experienced' winterers that September is supposedly the best month in the whole year. apparently, it is the norm to have clear blue skies, warm-ish temperatures, brilliant sunsets and the like. so far, we've not seen anything like that sort, although i was reassured today that it is only the first week of September and so, i should give it a chance. PAH! with only 11 weeks left in Antarctica, i want clear good days, and i want it NOW. ok la, i'm a reasonable person, tomorrow also can.
