The weather got even worse today. We actually made it to work this morning and the the weather got really bad after we got there. We had 60 mph wind gusts and visibilities were at times less than 100 feet. The place that had 95 mph winds yesterday, had 102 mph winds today. It wasn't so bad being at work in the buildings, but going to bathroom was quite treacherous. In fact on one trip, the wind actually knocked me off of my feet. Luckily I wasn't hurt. The whole experience was actually pretty fun. Below is a video of the walk to the bathroom (sorry, as exciting as it would have been, I didn't capture the fall).It got so bad that we actually had to leave work before they shut down all transportation. If visibilities drop below 100 ft, all transportation is shut down and you aren't even allowed to go outside. So we left work early so we didn't get trapped at work all night - after all, we didn't want to miss our big Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Things do look like they will finally improve tomorrow. Here are a couple of pictures of the storm.
Co-worker of mine (Larry Fox), walking back from the bathroom. It just looks miserable.
This picture about says it all.

LOOKS MISERABLE! I hope this didn't get ya down too much. @ least it is something different right?????? 2 questions: why did Larry not have his face covered; what were you wearing on your bathroom expedition? Stay warm. I love and miss you A LOT!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting all the photos and updates Chris. It sounds like great work. As for the long and gusty walk to the restroom...don't you just get tempted to wizz in a bottle in your dorm?
