Its going to be a white christmas . . .

. . . Wait, thats a given here in Antarctica. Regardless, its snowing today, quite a little blizzard. Its not that cold, but to get an idea of what it looks like: take a standard white 8.5x11 sheet of printer paper and put it 3 inches in front of your nose. Voila! Now I don't need to post a photo!

I know this site is claeed "Penguin Spotting", and so far I have not seen any penguins. Perhaps I'll start a counter. That said, we did see a few seals on the way home on the terra bus yesterday, comming out through holes in the ice shelf and "warming" themselves on the snow. Exactly how anything gets "warm" here is beyond me, but they seemed to be having fun. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera. Sorry.
