After a three day train journey, two trains and three train stations, a bunch of us are in the, now warmer, -33 degrees of Churchill, Manitoba( With a wind chill of -40 which means it feels like -40) . The train journey will be the subject of it's own post, once I have regained some of the brain cells I lost to the cold.
We are in a research facility that was once a rocket launch site, and now houses the CNSC where we will be spending ten days learning about and helping the researchers measure environmental change in the region (related to climate change).
Even with the 5 layers of clothing I have on, it's a battle to keep the cold wind from getting into little openings where my goggles crept away from the face mask, and to keep fingers and toes from feeling like they are going to fall off...but it is nice to be cold, even this cold.
We have a lecture this morning so I have to run. Now.
