As I mentioned in the previous post I am recovering from pneumonia so I am working from Crary Lab in McMurdo today. Our guys are out at work in Condition 2 which means visibility is between 500 feet and 1/4 mile due to light falling snow and blowing snow kicked up by 35-50 mph winds. I just happened to catch our webcam image as one of guys has to go outside. So that's what a summer storm in Antarctica looks like. It's called a herbie down here, and it's considered a moderate herbie. A bad herbie would produce winds of 60-65+ mph and would not allow people to go outside.
