“14 Nov 2015 11:00 am ET: The weather went down a bit and they could not keep up with the conditions to clear the ice-runway of snow. You can see in the webcam image taken just a short while ago that they are continuing to clear the snow. My guess is that the Baslers (DC3s) will arrive tomorrow, and they need to be in place before our flight arrives to transport passengers to other stations.”
“8 Nov 2015 10:30 pm ET: The image below, taken a little earlier, is from the webcam at Novo Station’s ice runway. The guys in the radio shack sent me a note a short while ago letting me know they had blowing snow and a few wind gusts hitting 42 m/s (94 mph) today.”
“7 Nov 2015 7:20 pm ET: My research team and I are now in Cape Town, SA awaiting our flight to Novolazarevskaya Station in Antarctica. The first flight made it down but its return to Cape Town was delayed for a day due to less than good weather at Novo that kicked up just before they were to depart.”
